FOR THE LAST WEEK WFM HAS BEEN TRADING ABOVE THE $42 ALL CASH OFFER FOR WHOLE FOODS. I AM TAKING THE VIEW THAT WHEN A STOCK IS CONSISTENTLY ABOVE THE OFFER PRICE (ESPECIALLY IN AN ALL CASH BID) THAT THERE ARE OTHERS INTERESTED IN THE COMPANY. THE STORY HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPANIES WHO COULD USE THIS (NOW THAT IT HAS RECEIVED ALL THIS ATTENTION) COMPANY AS A STEPPING STONE OR EVEN JUST TO GAIN A FOOTHOLD IN THE GROCERY MARKET. THOSE RUN FROM WMT, TGT, OR ANY OF THE "REAL GROCERY CHAINS" LIKE KR. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS A LOW RISK TRADE WITH THIS ONE SELLING FOR ONLY $ .50 OVER THE CASH BID. LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THIS IS A PRETTY LOW BID BASED ON WHERE THE STOCK HAS BEEN ($57 IN EARLY 2015) AND IT MAKES THIS LOOK LIKE A VERY LOW-COST SPECULATION OF A HIGHER BID. I'M BUYING BOTH THE STOCK AND THE WFM 8/43 CALLS ($ .41)...OZ
