The End of Whole Foods’ Fabulous Run, or, Pass the Mac & Cheese Please
The dramatic run that started in late 2000 in WFMI is now officially over. The market is signaling that it’s not just Mr. & Mrs. Front Porch USA who are retrenching — the ambulance chasers, rich plumbers, hippie-yuppies, and trust fund babies who patronize WFMI are also tightening their belts.
This chart doesn’t exactly have “soft landing” written all over it.

[…] Noticed old Capstone (CPST) on the new lows list along with Whole Foods (WFMI) - you may recall my post, Pass the Mac & Cheese - and OmniVision (OVTI) - no stranger to those who read Herbie’s blog. […]

[…] Whole Foods (WFMI) was the stock du jour — it actually blew up after hours on Wednesday. Dummies would have been frustrated (and losing money) attempting to short it during the regular hours session. Remember that The End of Whole Foods’ Fabulous Run happened last August. […]
