Let's Talk Stocks

Jones Soda (Ticker Symbol: JSDA) Closing Price $5.56

I seem to be seeing Jones Soda in more and more places. They have a great deal with Target and always seem to have good product placement within Target stores. Panera Bread and Starbucks both also carry Jones Soda. They also make quirky Thanksgiving flavors such as gravy, mashed potatoes and the like and could boost 4Q sales. I think Jones is a decent niche product within the beverage group which could make you some money at the current price.

Lifeway Foods (Ticker Symbol: LWAY) Closing Price $12.65
Have you ever tried kefir? If so it was probably made by Lifeway. Kefir is the old school Russian concoction that is pretty much like drinkable yogurt. The kefir contains probiotics which inhibit the growth of bad bacteria in your intestine, provide for better digestion etc. I've been buying the product for about the past 6 to 8 months, and if you have a weak stomach or if you are prone to being....ahem... well gassy, this might be some of the relief you are looking for. Recently inked a deal to be carried at Target, and being test marketed in some Wal-Mart Stores in Illinois. 52 week high is over $18.
