Q: Are companies with low profit margins bad investments? – C.R., Vineland, Colo.
A: Not necessarily. Fat profit margins are generally preferable, as they often reflect competitive advantages (such as a strong brand that commands a higher price). Still, you needn t avoid lower-margin businesses. Instead, look at the whole picture.
Imagine, for example, that the Laverne Brewery Inc. (ticker: DEFAZ) has a whopping net profit margin of 25%, while Shirley Beer Co. (ticker: FEENY) has just a 2% margin. But if Laverne sells only three cases of beer a year, while Shirley sells thousands, Shirley is the better buy, generating more total profit.

The Mediterranean Diet has long been touted as an informed and balanced way of eating. While not a diet, it is an approach to eating that includes foods indigenous to the Mediterranean region. It is marked by large portions of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, olive oil, as well as fish and other seafood. Poultry, eggs and cheeses are enjoyed in moderation, and fattier meats and sweet are allowed but should be limited. The guidelines also include plenty of water and a moderate amount of wine.
