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
