You know, I buy this stock and take profits. I wish I hadn't. I would be rich now and would never have to
invest again. SFD has been performing for me over
twenty years. Need I say more. Buy low and hold.

Positive:
- Cheap valuation
- Q1 better than expected
- Recent (small) insider buying
- International operations will profit from cheaper dollar and from problems with contaminated meat in Japan

Negative:
- High debt, but still manageable
- Risk of the next food scandal emerging from some corner
- They like to make further aquisitions, a big one could dilute existing shares
- Uncertain feed costs
- A somewhat cyclical business and earnings might be at the cycle top

Evil elements:
-"Lagoons" of antibiotic-ridden, decomposing, toxic hog waste that spill into our waterways during period of heavy rain
-Exploitive labor practices
-Unsanitary conditions created by "efficiencies" serve as breeding ground for dangerous viruses, such as swine flu
-Leans on government heavily to preserve evil practices

pilgrim pride filed for chapt 11. Smithfield has high debt load. But I would wager that it won't die!

3 Star rating w/ P/E Ratio of 32.85 following a significant drop in market today(S&P @ 953). Price slightly above 52 wk low w/ a range of 8.28-32.18. Currently 25% below the SPY. Had a slight rise in price today following last weeks low. Hold till price reaches about $20.00 and re-evaluate. Had a significant drop in price during last 10 months.

Price significantly below the 50 day moving average, near the bottom of Bollinger band that is slightly wider than preceding 10 months, and divergence turning slightly positively upward. Stock scouter has it rated @ 4 with much higher risk compared to returns.
