Only Have 10 Minutes? Read This Post!
It's been another busy week for me but I managed to carve out some time to keep up with current events. I'm paying particular attention to what's happening with the UK election. The results there could potentially impact the strength of the Eurozone and with Greece still threatening to default you can bet that a shakeup in the UK will have wide ranging effects on an already tenuous situation.
Whole Foods Courting Millennials
Earlier this week Whole Foods announced big plans following their disappointing Q2 numbers. On the surface, it would seem that they recognize millennials as their future demographic but I think there may be more to it. Reading between the lines, millennials don't have the income to support such an overhaul for a pricey chain like Whole Foods. I think this may actually be a veiled attempt to lower their prices and reduce overhead by replicating the recent success of Walmart and Target in opening smaller locations.
This topic spurred a great conversation on Twitter between myself and Alex Pitti who writes an interesting blog with some contrarian market views. I had a chance to read through his most recent posts and it's definitely thought provoking so give it a read if you're interested in a different perspective.
