Retail Rumor Watch: SuperValu versus GameStop (SVU, GME)

(NYSE: GME) and SuperValu Inc. (NYSE: SVU).  The issue at hand is if private equity is back to making deals.  In these two particular cases, one buyout may make sense but one seems rather hard to fathom.

Aluminum Foil: The Fallout From Alcoa’s Earnings

Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced poor earnings and its stock fell more than 11% ending the session on January 12th at $15.52. Some superstitious traders believe that because Alcoa is the first large American company to release earnings each quarter that it is a harbinger of what other corporate reports will show. That is as ridiculous as the belief that if the first man in the St Patrick’s Day Parade is 6’11’’ tall that the rest of the marchers will be taller than the average person.

Cramer’s Grocery Pick (KR, WFMI, SVU)

On tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer said he still thinks the supermarket stocks are cheap but some deserve to be cheap.  His pick in the sector is Kroger (NYSE:KR).  He liks the outperformance and that they beat earnings and raised guidance with a 5+% same store sales number.

This has been our pick as well, and we even went as far as saying that this was actually becoming an alternative to Whole Foods (NASDAQ:WFMI) if you go there (24/7’s View on Whole Foods vs. Kroger).

Cramer thinks that this is going head to head with SuperValu (NYSE:SVU) although it is cheaper and SVI is just a value trap.
