Secularly this is in the right space. Everybody is looking for healthier, more organic, more natural foods that are better for you. He’s a huge proponent of that, but this is trading at a massive multiple. In the next leg of a rally, you are going to have to see some M&A happen with some traditional players such as Kraft (KRFT-Q) and Kellogg (K-N) looking to expand, making acquisitions.
The technical chart still looks bearish and there is a lot of selling overhang remaining. He expects the turnaround story will take time to unfold. He sees better opportunities out there.
