"I'm betting that what this did is solve the next two quarters for Whole Foods," he said. "If they can make the quarter twice, you have to be in [Whole Foods], even up $5."

Soup and Ketchup

On a separate note, he urged viewers to take a look at Campbell Soup (CPB Quote) and Heinz (HNZ Quote), particularly because Nestle (NSRGY Quote) reported a "blowout quarter" Wednesday and is on the "acquisition prowl."
