Ben Graham meets the Exchange Traded Note	Exchange traded notes (ETN) are a fairly new investment product that share some characteristics of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. They are simply direct debt obligations issued by a bank or investment firm rather than an interest in a pool of securities that define an ETF.A bank simply issues a note and promises to pay the holder whatever the total return of an index is over the maturity of the note, less a management fee. The bank may or may not use the cash to invest in the index...it matters...	August 18, 2008

Whole Foods: "Shoppers Will Return When Economy Turns"	"Assuming no dramatic change in economic trends, we are planning for total sales growth in fiscal 2009 of 6% to 10%. We expect comparable store sales growth of 1% to 5% and identical store sales growth of zero to 4%." Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. OK, so, what defines "dramatic" John? I hate these conditional predictions. Essentially no matter what happens, Mackey is giving himself an "out". How about just telling us either "we have no idea" or give us numbers that investors (I am not one) can ...	August 06, 2008
Driving Past the Costco	Costco televisions. Costco Wholesale Corp. and its warehouse-club brethren had been a refuge for investors sick of watching retailer shares struggle. That ended Wednesday.

Energy Pinches Costco Profits	While the broader market is set to rally on another decline in oil prices, shares of Costco Wholesale Corp. are down 10% before the opening bell after the warehouse retailer said higher energy costs and internal decisions to try to maintain lower prices will hurt profit for the current quarter. The company is trying to offset this through a share buyback, but that doesn’t take away the sting. Costco sold gasoline at lower prices than competitors to increase sales, but it’s getting s...

ROST: Ross is Working	My latest column is up at RealMoney. This has been a terrible time to own stocks tied to consumer discretionary spending. The Consumer Discretionary SPDR (XLY) is down more than 16% so far this year. So I’m somewhat surprised to find myself giving serious consideration to a retail stock that is up more than 50% since January. Ross Stores (ROST) operates more than 900 stores, selling first-quality, in-season, name-brand and designer apparel and housewares at 20% to 60% off the regular price...	July 14, 2008
