Well we are in a Bear Market where Defense and ROW may be the place to look into. This Portfolio combines the two stratagies. I originally created this portfolio a while ago, but in this market..it seems to fit. A while ago, I was Reading through the Casual Male Conf Call and something jumped out... "Obesity Issues and the size issues of Europe are an Incredible Opportunity..The rates are increasing there-actually higher rates than are currently happening in the USA". Well heck, I have always had a weight problem...so it seems fitting that I create this portfolio. Anyway, my picks are Soda, Fast Food, Beer, Meat Products and the horrible terrible Casual Male for Fat Clothes which I stuck in the hate section. Altogether, these are the plays to fatten up Overseas...and I threw in a Med Diag. play to detect Heart Conditions.

I actually like HANS as a Soda play..the PEG on KO has gotten too high. But HANS only sells to USA and Canada. It missed it's last qtr. and has been punished for it. It's PEG under 2.0..amoung other good fundies. For KO, There has been a drop in the number of families who rely on traditional food in Europe.. The advertising budget of Coke alone is a much more than Italy spends on food research. Yes, it is a great defense...and yes it has been mentioned a lot...but it is still a great play.

BKC reports on Jan 31 it got knocked down bad after Wendy reported decrease same store sales in the beginning of Jan., p/e 19.84, PEG 1.16, 10.30% qtr growth. These are my notes from the Conf Call in September. Nymph Take Away:14th Consecutive Qt. of positive worldwide comps. Big thing is that 80% of the new resturants are opening outside the US. CEO Chidsey- 2007 A record year for BKC, yield revenues 590M v 533M, 11% increase. Spiderman 3 good. Breakfast 15% up, Late Night 12-13%. Those time frames continued to grow at a FASTER pase than overall sales. UK had failed resturants which they closed. Still waiting for permits for Germany and Middle East. Worldwide Sales 311,000...8% increase.Adjusted Net income of $40M, 60% improvement over the prior yr...which was helped by lower interest expense and lower tax rates. Adjusted EPS .24 v .18, 61% up. 100M share repurchase program. Retired 25M in debt. Higher commodity cost..primarily in beef. Latin America 17% revenues up. Income 29% up.Spicey Buger in Mexico.

They will be reporting tomorrow...the street is looking for .21. I think the $$$ is in it's Europe Play and I think it will do good when it reports. They are raising Hogs in Central Europe to feed China...I like the story...but we will see. * Since I wrote this SFD had reported with a 14.3% surprise..They report again on Feb 28, PEG 1.7, qtr growth 23.50% it has gave up all of it's profit since it last reported..In 2000 to 2002 it went from 7 to 23..maybe it might be a good defense.

Hey compare it for the year with STZ DEO and even SAM who is the only one that is giving it a run...but SAMS PEG over 2... Jan 17 (Reuters) - Poland's vodka producer Central European Distribution Corp (CEDC.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said it raised its full year 2008 outlook due to a strong Polish economy and the appreciation of the local currency. "This strong economic growth is fueling increased consumer demand for premium vodka brands and a wide range of imported spirits and wines. We look for the same positive trends to continue through 2008," Chief Executive William Carey said in a statement
