Valorsoul	Warren Buffett would buy this stock. Free cash flow and massive earnings with very low P/E. Also, new year's is coming and people will start dieting. Used to have a huge moat but Alli was seen by analysts to break this although that's untrue. Alli has huge side-effects that NTRI won't. This stock generates massive cash flows.

sarah z	Next on the list is NutriSystem. The Horsham, Pa.-based diet company said it increased its buyback plan by $100 million. This additional buyback brings the company’s total repurchase plan to $207 million. The company said the additional buyback will expire on March 31, 2009 while the expiration date for its previous program has been extended to Aug. 9, 2008. In order to help finance the repurchase plan, NutriSystem entered into a five year $200 million credit facility. The loan comes with a $100 million accordion feature, which will increase the company's buying power to $300 million. Last Wednesday, we saw NTRI take a beating as they trimmed its third-quarter outlook. The company announced third quarter earnings to run between 62 and 66 cents a share, down from 77 to 82 cents a share, and new customers are expected to drop 7% from a gain of 4-5%. Revenues also expected to come up shy from its earlier estimates, which were in the range of $200 million and $208 million, and now they expect revenue of $188 million. Investors responded by sending the stock down 33%. We think this was overdone and is set up for a decent play at these levels. On the bright side of the earnings report, the company revealed that NTRI remains to be successful in reactivating former customers. CEO Michael Hagan explained why he expects upside in 2008, "Though mindful of the heightened competitive factors surrounding our business, the combination of a solid financial platform and upcoming catalysts for growth in fiscal 2008 gives us confidence that the Company's future remains strong." Mr. Hagan continued, "We believe the new credit facility along with our current cash balances and the cash generating capability of our core business gives us the financial flexibility to make accretive share repurchases and enhance our growth by pursuing acquisitions to offer consumers a wider variety of complementary health and wellness products." For a longer term investor this may prove to be a buying opportunity if NutriSystem's weakness is restricted to the short term. After the seasonally slow 4Q, NutriSystem will enter 2008 with substantial changes to its marketing strategy, prepared to compete against GlaxoSmithKline's weight-loss drug Alli that stole recent profits. The company could see new customers levels back up the 50% and 47% levels from 1Q07 and 2Q07.	Love	October 10, 2007
