Michelle Obama has made healthy eating a priority in her role as first lady. Her emphasis on the earth-to-table approach to dining emphasizes local and organic ingredients -- and fits squarely with the mission of Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFMI).
Obama's White House garden is great top-of-mind stuff and demonstrates the value of a healthy lifestyle. It may not be for everyone, but there will be enough followers that will think more and more about going organic.
That means more shoppers at Whole Foods and a boost to sales.
I would buy this stock before the trend runs its course.
What's more, Whole Foods is highly leveraged to an economic recovery. Its high-margin items are attractive to customers interested in organic and natural foods. As budgets allow and the economy improves, they will once against ante-up for these items. So as the economy improves, so too will the value of WFMI. It's time to go long.
