The Motley Fool May 2, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Chewing on Tyson's Results A better-than-expected quarter raises the hope that operations have stabilized and growth is back in the story.

The Motley Fool February 27, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Follow the Money to Hormel This may be the best-run meat company out there. However, its stock price reflects a lot of that, and it doesn't seem to be quite as interesting as an oversold value idea.
The Motley Fool January 30, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Tyson Gets Gored This could end up being good news for people who were watching these stocks with an eye toward buying in on bad news.

The Motley Fool November 16, 2004 W.D. Crotty	Tyson Foods Is Looking Cheap Rising sales, higher-margin products, and falling debt levels characterize Tyson Foods.

The Motley Fool February 22, 2005 Stephen D. Simpson	Hormel's Meaty Earnings Still thought of as a pork producer, Hormel has built a markedly diversified food business. Although the stock doesn't look like a screaming bargain today, long-term investors should probably sit tight.

The Motley Fool May 25, 2006 Stephen D. Simpson	Hormel Still Tasty Because it's more a user of protein as opposed to a producer of it, Hormel can actually benefit from the oversupply of protein that has sent the prices of chicken, beef, and hogs down a fair bit. Don't shares of this well-run company ever get cheap?
