People still eat tootsie rolls? Gross.Give it a P/E under 15 and I would consider it (I probably still wouldn't buy it).P/E of 28+? No sir.

First - TR has a family management team that refuses to perform short-term optimizations to meet analyst expectations.

Second - TR has a family management team that actually understands it's core business - it grew up around the industry

Third - I expect that with the coming recession, people will stop buying big-ticket items (new cars, GM will hurt, and housing starts are in the dumps anyway) but people will still buy candy for Children - perhaps more than usual.

Finally - I don't think investors will abandon TR the way they've abandoned Citigroup, etc. There won't be a run on the market; this is a conservative company that makes a real product people actually want.
