"A market beater (tripled) over the past five years." Pretty strong case for being bearish, don't you think? Thanks for the info, Dave.

I think that I got in with an excellent price after a major drop on 11/11/09:

"Nov 11 (Reuters) - Flowers Foods Inc (FLO.N) posted quarterly sales below market estimates and cut its full-year outlook, as the baker's product prices came under pressure from intense promotional activity by competitors, sending its shares down 8 percent.

Flowers Foods, which competes with Sara Lee (SLE.N), George Weston (WN.TO) and Interstate Bakeries, introduced promotional pricing earlier this year to protect its market share."

This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

If only I had invested in it in real life I wouldn't have lost 65% of my portfolio's value over a 10 month period. There is a lesson here about the steady performance of staples in a recession, but I don't know what it is.
