What Happened When Alex Kenjeev Paid His Student Loan in Cash
What's a Realistic Retirement Age?Although it's still a while before New Year's Day, diets and healthier eating will almost certainly be near the top of many lists of resolutions. One beneficiary is NutriSystem (NASDAQ: NTRI) – a buy recommendation from small cap expert Tom Bishop.
The editor of BI Research says, "NutriSystem is knocking it out of the ballpark, beating estimates and raising guidance." The company markets and sells the food for its proprietary weight loss system, which is based on a low glycemic index.
Bishop notes the company increased revenues by 141% and earned $0.63 in its third quarter, up from $0.19 last year, which was a "big upside surprise" over Wall Street's estimates.
Helping the company has been its ad campaign, in which former Dolphin quarterback Dan Marino has been pitching the weight loss program. Notes Bishop, "Already 30% of its customers are men, who like the anonymity and do-it-at-home nature of the product." Next up will be promotions aimed at seniors, featuring coach Don Shula - another former Dolphin - and his wife.
Meanwhile, those who wish to oversee their own healthier diets may prefer Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFMI), which recently shed some pounds itself. The stock took a major hit when its lowered its growth forecast for 2007 from 20% to 17%.
Todd Schoenberger, editor of Red Zone Profits, says, "This knee-jerk reaction by traders and investors has presented a wonderful buying opportunity."
