Hi Stephen,
Thank you for visiting http://www.nabiscoworld.com/.
Thanks so much for taking the time to contact us with your suggestion. We're always delighted when people care enough about our products and packaging to offer their own creative ideas.
As you might know, we have a new "unsolicited ideas" policy that allows Kraft to consider some types of ideas (mainly for new products and packaging innovations) submitted by consumers. However, our policy does not cover unsolicited ideas regarding: product line extensions, packaging changes, advertising, promotions and recipes ideas.
So, those types of ideas are not sent along to our new "Innovations Team," who is responsible for analyzing unsolicited ideas under our new policy.
But, we do want you to know that comments shared by our consumers can be very helpful to Kraft. Various Kraft teams do review comments such as yours, which help us identify consumer trends, preferences and needs.
Also, I am delighted to hear that you are pleased with us/our product.Our goal is to maintain the highest quality products and to create a variety of new products that are enjoyable. It is gratifying to learn that our efforts have been successful. I will pass your comments on to the appropriate parties.Kraft is NOT recalling any products in connection with the recent salmonella outbreak involving peanut products manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America’s (PCA), Blakely, GA, facility.
Again, we appreciate you contacting us and applaud both your creativity and loyalty.
It was great hearing from you, and remember we're always updating our site so visit us again soon!

Financial Friday #20 ABK and Ford in play

This week I decided to play two different stocks. Putting all my eggs in one basket is a little scary. I do use stop orders to limit my exposure but still sometimes it is good to spread out a little bit.

Last week I bought ABK and this week I shorted it. I love when I came make money buying one week and make money shorting the next week. I shorted 8,000 shares ABK at 1.96 and was able to cover at 1.31 for a $5,200 profit. I also bought 4,000 shares of Ford (F) on wed at 4.83 and just sold them at 5.38 for a $2,200 gain. Thus I was able to make $7,400 this week. Not too shabby for a dog. Now that I have more capital it is actually getting easier since I can weather a few losses.

Current balance $36,381

Financial Friday #18 ABK in play

It has been a busy week. On Tuesday I noticed that ABK seemed to be setting up to follow a channel. It looked really good and since ABK had been holding steady for the last couple of says I felt confident throwing everything I had at it. Besides I am a dog if I lose money I still have 3 squares a day and a nice dog bed. I ended up buying 18698 shares of ABK at $.96 on Wed the stock ran up to the top of the channel and I decided to get out. You have to stick to you fundamentals. Fundamentals protect you from huge losses but sometimes they can hurt you too. I don’t own any BAC at $4 because my fundamentals made me see it BAC is trading around $13.50 currently. That would have been a nice gain but would have violated my rules.




Anyway I sold my ABK on Wed at $1.55 for a pretty decent gain of 61%. Yeah it was a good week not too bad for two days.

Current balance $28,981

FF 17

There was really nothing exciting in the market this week. We say Chrysler file for bankruptcy but other outside of that it was kind of a flat week. I really am not sure where things are going. There seems to have been some sort of a turn around and now maybe a good time to get back into some longer term plays. I just don’t know right now if you are looking to ride positions for the next 5-10 years now is probably a good time to pick up some stable companies at a good price. Personally I like Hartford Insurance GRP (HIG) and whirlpool WHR. Both of these stocks will probably get battered some more as the economy bumps along but long term they should be good plays.

This week based on the issue Chrysler was having I bought Ford (F). Ford is in the best position of all the big 3 automakers. I bought Wed 3095 shares at $5.33 and sold on Thursday at 5.81 as it started to retreat. This week I made a profit of $1454
