WFM Debt to Equity ratio 0.02 the industry average is a staggering 17.79

Last 5 years EPS 22.3% compared to industry average of 1.7%

You may not like WFM but it is going higher.

As for SONC they are heading into the time of year where 70% of their sales come from. Their last quarter showed double digit same store growth and considering the weather issues they faced in several of their key markets this was strong growth.

You can have your opinion, I have history of successful posts on stock suggestions. Feel free to short them, it's your money, it's your opinion. Good luck.

I am done educating.

Thanks for the info

I have great success...

I wouldn't short either but both are losing market share and wouldn't jump in now...much better out there.... Whole Foods is getting KILLED in the midwest by local and regional chains...not sure about other parts of the country.

Both of those stocks would have been Great to have 6 months ago. Not saying they are not good now.
Agree kind of what Loomis was saying with Whole Foods, would figure they would be hurting.... BUT they are still making money, which says... they know what they are doing, and doing it good.
I actually have a back round in this sector, and made All of my Legit money from it.

Sonc, who hit their 52 week High on Friday, is a little less attractive to me ( I'm no expert )
I've seen them grow over the past year or so... turn around and you will see their TV ads. But upon small research I see a lot of Form 4's, but Don't blame them cashing in.

For years I have owned stocks but always used a Broker. Now I opened a Schwab account to play around with. Still buying Long Term, just doing it myself now.
Still have the Brokerage account. But I wanted something, so I would learn more about it.

The broker is guaranteed to make money

There are NO Guarantees in Life, and that Includes the Stock market.

I've had plenty of Up and downs, but overall in the past 15 years I am up... because of two main Stocks.

I've had FGP for years

And if you are calling a broker to make a trade.....you are the only one left in the world that trades stocks over the phone.

I bought FORD a couple of years back at a nice price.

I have 1000 shares that I now buy and sell often, picking up $250 to $600 a trade.

Goes down I buy...goes up I sell. Little at a time adds up after a while.

I had Reynolds tobacco which I sold last year, should have kept it, reached a high of $76 several weeks ago.......my mom has quite a few shares & I told her to sell when it cane back down to $73, it'd now $69.90 or something like that.

She won't sell, she says it will go back up......I hope it does for her sake.

She bought in at a very good price. I just think the market will level off, it can't keep sustaining this upward climb.

If you had it for Years, you should be sitting Pretty....

Many many years ago i was told to buy it, and thought with what's going on with Anti-Smoking campaigns it would be a Bust.
Again, Amazing how they kept on making money

I had 3000 shares of PCLN in the 1990's at an average of just over a buck and sold it for a loss.
After the reverse split I would have had 500 shares. now it is over $1000 a share

Buy gold and silver stocks. If you want to play it more conservative, look at SIL, and GDX .
When QE4 is announced many of the stocks in these ETFS will double and triple

Someone would always tell me to buy gold back in 2006, I never listened when it came to buying gold or silver.....I believe gold was around $700 or something around there. I thought I missed the boat so decided not to buy any, as my cousin was buying all the gold he could get his hands on.

Needless to say, it sky rocketed to around $1,850 around 2011/2012 (if my memory serves), but he never sold it, he still has all the gold he bought & he's still way up in what he's bought it at.

I told him to get out when it fell to $1,700......if you can triple your money, no reason to stay in, get out, just my opinion tho.

I'm still waiting for gold to fall under $1,000, but I don't know if I will ever see it fall under that number.

otcmkts: Vygvf.

Voyager Digital (OTCQB:VYGVF) is a smaller cap that gives investors exposure to the Bitcoin and crypto trading trend at a reasonable valuation. The company offers zero commissions and more coins than its competitors, including the rumored $100 billion market cap Coinbase that's going public soon, Kraken and Gemini. The stock is listed on the OTC market, which is higher risk than the Nasdaq as these stocks tend to be thinly traded.

Voyager is a zero-commission competitor to Robinhood, and due to many PR mishaps, has opened a door for Voyager to become a replacement for customers who seek fewer politics around their crypto trading app.

Voyager also comes with the added benefit of offering 9% interest on stable coins as the company is a consortium for stable coins, including USD Coin (USDC) and Tether's USDT, which have surpassed $7 billion in circulation. As such, it provides exposure to decentralized coins like Bitcoin and stable coins based on the fiat system.

Although I'm personally in favor of decentralized crypto and not stable coins, big tech and the Fed are likely to put immense pressure on adopting stable coins. Voyager allows investors exposure to both at a market cap of $2.18 billion, at time of writing. You can read my Facebook Libra article here where I'm especially against this company entering the stable coin market.

Below we explain what makes Voyager a compelling investment, including what it does, how it makes money, valuation, catalysts, management, and potential risks.

Voyager: Zero Commissions, More Coins
As longtime crypto investors, we know all too well the issues around Coinbase and the other sites. The primary issue is the commissions that Coinbase charges, which are exorbitant, to say the least. To make a $5,000 trade on Coinbase, you will be charged about $80 in commissions. This isn't competitive in an environment where stocks are traded at $0.

Voyager does not charge commissions on crypto trades and offers 9% interest on stable coins. One thing to note is that Voyager does not offer insurance like Gemini, and that our fund does not hold large amounts of crypto on trading platforms. Instead, we store crypto in cold storage wallets and use trading platforms for trading only. We discuss how Voyager makes money below, the differences in crypto platforms and how investors typically store their crypto below.

The fallout with Robinhood over GameStop has created an influx of customers for Voyager. Total revenue growth between December and February was over 1000% from $1.7 million to $20 million in monthly revenue.

Please note, my readers often ask me about the volatility of crypto and my answer to this is that crypto promises to be some of my most volatile investments. Stocks and crypto prices can drop 60% or more - and this has happened since my official coverage on bitcoin when it was priced at $12,000 and saw $4,000 before finding a base. You can read my past coverage here on Bitcoin in the summer of 2019.

Financial Overview
Voyager is on a growth streak fueled by a rise in brand awareness. The company solves one of the more significant pain points for crypto investors, which is commissions. To illustrate, a $5,000 crypto trade on Coinbase can cost as much as $80 with commissions ranging from 1.5% to 4%. This simply isn't competitive enough for Coinbase to retain customers, who like myself, were first attracted to the platform when there were fewer options many years ago.
