Q: I'm the type of investor who looks for stocks of good companies that have hit a rough patch and that everybody avoids as a result. I'm inclined to think that Whole Foods Market (WFM) is just such a company. It continues to generate higher and higher revenues and profits. Yet, its share price has fallen considerably and its P/E ratio is now around 27 (compared to the high thirties last year). Have your thoughts about the company changed since your comment last November?

Q: re: TWX Time Warner

got online today and have seen a 15% increase. The only thing I can see in the news is TWX CEO Bewkes officially rejecting the offer from 21st Century Fox.

Is there any other news you have that accounts for such a significant jump?

Thanks for all you do for all of us
