Don't look now, but Sara Lee (SLE) is up about 20% in the past month. People gotta eat, and, thanks to the recession, they're opting to eat at home more often. SLE reports earnings on Aug. 12, and analysts expect earnings per share to be 5 cents less than a year ago. Last quarter, the company blew out the estimate by nearly 40%. With sentiment mixed (only a third of analysts rate the shares a "buy"), another beat this quarter should keep the rally intact.

After hitting our market psychology barometer reading of 31 on 2008-02-21, it’s fourth lowest since 1991, Sara Lee is a buy. Here’s why. The chart below shows these four dates marked A, B, C and D. All showed recent steep declines. After these declines, prices rebounded 30%, 77% and 41% respectively within one year. If history is to repeat itself, I expect Sara Lee to have a similar rebound. The upside target is $17 while the stop-loss figure is $12. The current closing price is $13.13.  read more

Sara Lee (NYSE:SLE) reported an increase of 9.2% in revenues for Q3. While on the surface 9.2% increase sounds good they also announced that the media and promotional spend increased 28%. Sounds like the marketing program has encountered significant friction or may be just misfiring. While some significant product categories performed better than the average, no one approached the 28% level. Management needs to publicly address the discrepancy. Consumer marketing companies with mature established products cannot and should not tolerate these kinds of failures.

I made some nice money ($1.6 per contract, got out at $2.6, but they went for $3.6 last week) on the Jan 08 LEAPS which acquired several months prior to the spin-off of hanes brands (HBI). Following a Greenblatt-esque strategy.
