Cant send a private memo.....but I promised SD(about a year ago) that I would check out a Sprouts store here in OZ when I got to one. Today was that day.....only taking me a year to get 'er done. . y The Sprouts store in. Goodyear reminds me of an upscale deli. Lots of specialty products.....yet not a broad selection of many things. Lots of nuts, dairy, cheese, super produce items, and a variety of candy and such avaialble in bulk....and all with fairly high prices (to us) and a somewhat upscale feel to the store. Kinda like Trader Joes....but more produce oriented. I can see that some folks whom are very selective with their gourmet cooking or someone wanting organic foods could become attached to the store.....especially for produce and nuts and candy items. (fat people everywhere in this store.....grin). Nice gourmet feel inside the store. My wife and I liked the store....but felt we would not shop there on a very regular basis....as they dont have the wide variety found at Fry's or Safeway. Lots of competition for the grocery dollars.....and these two stores own a big share here in OZ. Not sure about other places. Fry's seems to be king of the hill here....and they are building stores like crazy. In the middle of the store you can take some grocery items and they will cook it for you and serve you with wine or beer and such. Lots of men hang out at the bar in the center of the store....as their wives shop for groceries. Unreal! These Fry's stores are Juuuuge....and have lots of variety as well as deli and specialty areas in the stores. Also have some home goods and much more. I'd buy stock in Fry's over Sprouts ? I have no idea about their earnings or stock. We bought some nuts, avocado, pepper and a Valentines card....and got outta there with an $11 expense. You owe me. .

I just bought a new shaft for my old driver today. ($69). Gonna see if I can get that old driver hitting like my new one.....for a bit less cost. Same shaft in both drivers......and slightly different heads. Mostly I want to learn from this.....and save a few hundred bucks if I can. I keep a set of clubs here in OZ and a similar set back in 'Soda. SKOL!

Same distance on the launch monitor for the most part, but the Ping is so much more forgiving, it will keep me in the fairway a lot more from what I am reading, and what the Pro said. Edit: I got a Taylormade R9-460 if you can use it buddy!

Check out the Rick Shiels videos on Youtube. He tests lots of clubs.....and he bags the G400 lst driver. Very good reviews by him and lots of others. I like what Rick does on his videos. (though is auzzie / British accent is a bit much at times).

I bailed out of Sprouts a while ago Foggy. The market doesn't have the stomach to go head to head with Amazon on anything. The day Amazon announced their $13 billion dollar acquisition of Whole Foods, $20 billion was wiped out of grocery stocks in the blink of an eye. It happened again when Amazon announced they were cutting avacado prices in half at WF.
The whole grocery model is going to change quickly, and those sitting on mega feed lot stores for humans will find themselves shuttering buildings. The current model is inefficient for everyone, just some know it and feel it more than others.

SD, or anyone for that matter. How does a guy find health care index fund rankings on the web. I was looking at a vanguard fund that says its ranked about #38 over ten years. How do I find the 37 better ones?

How do I find the 37 better ones? I'm really not sure. There aren't that many that are exactly alike, so it's worthless to lump that many together. Within healthcare, there can be a total health index or sub indexes for drugs, research, REITs, insurance, etc. If you want the whole index, look towards a rules based ETF with a known entity like Vanguard or iShares and you shouldn't find much deviation if you're comparing apples to apples. money.usnews.com/funds/etfs/rankings/healthIt's about 4 months old, but it's a place to start, but even these are not apples to apples comparisons because they're not all the same objective. All depends on what exactly you're looking for.

It should say somewhere near what you're looking at. Could be things like: Governnance Rate of return Fees How closely they track the index
