I read a few articles on what happened since it caught me by surprise honestly. What I was able to find out, and why I say the traders simply didn't like it, was that they, WFM, simply didn't meet their goals. They still made a good profit but not what they expected. So they've adjusted their outlook going forward. I think they'll adjust to the new competition and be fine but it may not be what the traders want. I'm not a trader so I'm ok with that. The reasons I'm invested in them are still there so I'm good for now anyway.

It's funny though. I'm like you in that I don't care about organic etc. I actually only shop at Whole Foods when I'm near one, which isn't often, and it's usually their bulk trail mixes and bakery items I'm after. That's about it really.
