| According to Hoovers, Russell Stover reported annual sales of $456 million in 2003, down from $471 millin in 2002 and an estimated $600 million in 2001. Looks like a downward trend to me. |

You have to watch out for saesonal stocks. Even with their products in season, their forecast can cause a downtrend. |
