Captofiron....


I was reminded this morning while watching CNBC just how different TWO stocks in the same business can diverge as far as their stock goes.

Kroger (KR) vs Whole Foods (WFM)--- Kroger is UP 33+% while Whole Foods is DOWN 31+% (using a ONE YEAR chart)

There is a function in Google Finance charts where you can compare charts and it can be eyeopening!


My point is -- that just to pick A single name and hope that what you think about it is spot on -- can be deadly. Poke around a bit - compare and make sure that what YOU think, is the same thing the "MARKET" thinks. I've found that I'm often wrong. The above being a perfect example!
