Another investment option involves nutritional supplement stores including GNC (GNC), Herbalife (HLF), and Vitamin Shoppe (VSI). And grocery chains such as Whole Foods Market (WFM), The Fresh Market (TFM), and Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage (NGVC) also offer investment opportunities to those looking to take off with the booming industry of health food. Just a few decades ago, people began investing in drive-thru restaurants like McDonalds (MCD), Burger King, Taco Bell and other fast food places. All of these financial opportunities massively expanded due to the trend in fast food. However now there is a shift back towards being healthy and having an active lifestyle. As that pattern continues, so will the trend of shopping for and eating healthy food. Investors have the opportunity to take advantage of these markets, much like those who took advantage of fast food chains just a short time ago.

According to the free list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com of health food stocks, there are over a dozen worth different companies in this field. Whole Foods Market (WFM) is one of the major players in this industry. It based in Austin, Texas, and owns a chain of supermarkets specializing in natural and organic products.

Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) is a provider of natural and organic foods and personal care products. The company brands include Celestial Seasonings tea, Soy Dream and Almond Dream beverages, the FreeBird brand of organic free range chickens, and whole grain foods through Arrowhead Mills.

Time to Look at Your New Years Resolutions

New Years Resolutions in summer? What better time to look at your resolutions than half way through the year. Have you followed through with any of yours? For me, I haven't done much in the way of my exercise resolution. I guess I better get on it, since I have less than six months left.

At the beginning of January, I did an article on New Years Resolutions stocks, which included weight loss companies, exercise clothing companies, and get-a-job companies. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just updated the list of top New Years resolution companies, some of which may make your portfolio healthier. Here is a quick review.

Weight Watcher's International Inc. (WTW) is trading at loss than the price it was at for the beginning of the year, primarily due to the big dump in the stock price in late February. It was founded in 1963, and is one of the oldest weight loss companies. The stock has a forward PE of 10.4, and pays a fairly generous yield, at least compared to other New Years stocks, of 2.6%.

However, Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) has done quite well, rising from 40.95 at the beginning of January to over 48 today, and increase of about 20%. The company, which also provides nutritional supplement and personal care products, has a forward PE of 11.2, with a yield of 1.6%.
