Campbell Soup [CPB  Loading...      ()   ] -– “People are evacuated to the school gym after a hurricane and they have to eat something. Of all the food companies, Campbell Soup raised guidance. They just announced that they are buying back $1.2 billion worth of stock. So this is a good company.”

Toro Company [TTC  Loading...      ()   ] -– “They have been hit because of the housing industry, but they have been growing huge overseas. They just announced a $4 million share buyback. They have gone up after every single hurricane. Besides, people need landscaping after a hurricane!”
