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.

Have recently found a new way to generate income. For a while I was a vendor for Pepperidge Farm cookies and when I was leaving they put it a new policy. For every error made by a vendor (Honest mistakes, miscounts, misrepresentation of item, ANYTHING) they would fine the company $50.
Say I walked in delivering $100 worth of cookies, and the my bill didn't exactly match what was on their bill (It's common this happens), Pepperidge farm just lost $50. It turns out over the past year one receiver for one of the ShopRites made nearly $300,000 for ShopRite due to these fines. Now ShopRite is looking for all their receivers to match close to that number so there will no longer be any breaks. This is %100 profit and is only going to increase from here.
This may not seem like much but look at the balance sheet. For a company netting a little over $300 million annually, a 5-10 million profit increase in solely fines for mistakes is a nice chunk of change.
ShopRites are also doing remarkably well, and VLGEA is doing EVERYTHING they can do to not let this recession hurt there numbers.

This market will certainly see an increase. VLGEA is positioned to move due to their business model. Also, I feel their management style is solid during these unsteady times.

Using a DCF @15%, g=5%, the future cash flows are worth $212M. Add that to the company's equity of $150M, and the company is worth $362M. This only leaves a 15% margin of safety over today's value. This is definitely not the best buy for a value investor right now, but for CAPS it is pretty good.

I live in NJ and never realized shop-rite was a publicly traded supermarket. I used to work there in high school. Anyway, they have the finest deli meats and just good quality food. Its just as packed as the whole foods market and not nearly as expensive. With a PE less than 14 and gobs of cash this is a promising company.

A very interesting grocery business. No analysts following the stock, a very strong balance sheet, improving margins, improving ROA and ROE, the business is producing a steadily increasing amount of cash flow, and the bank has been unnecessary to fuel growth. They make large stores, most in the 40,000 - 60,000 sq ft range. On top of that, they've got a very low P/E of 13.68, compared to the industry average of 18.65.
This is a business run by the Sumas family. The chairman and CEO has been with the company since 1955, the president since 1973, the CFO (who's the only non-Sumas on the board of directors) since 1987, the Executive VP's since 1969, 1980, and 1982. So, this is one heck of an experienced management team. The company itself has been around since 1933. They've started paying up a nice dividend recently as well.
They currently operate 23 stores, 16 of them in New Jersey, the rest in eastern PA.
This is a very stable company, has great and improving financials, a low P/E, an incredibly experienced management team and business, and it still hasn't been found by Wall Street. The company has a market cap of $225.58 million.
