Peanut Butter & Jelly and Soldiers
Go to AnySoldiers.com and remember someone who is quietly going about saving the world as we know it.

Just when you thought you knew everything about PB&J, 
something new comes out!  
 
PBJ is a relatively new ETF, PowerShares Dynamic Food & 
Beverage Portfolio. The Fund will invest at least 90% of 
its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Index. 
The Index consists of stocks of 30 United States food and 
beverage companies. 
 
Here are a few of the stocks that make up this ETF; SWY, 
ADM, KR, RDK, YUM, SJM, CPO, CPB, PZZA. These few have been 
Great Xpectations™. Just as utilities are a defensive 
sector in times of recession, so is the food industry.  
 
Once again, ETFs make up a basket of stocks. You can choose 
ETFs by sector, or, you can portfolio your own ‘basket of 
stocks’ by choosing wisely and finding trends. Learn about 
trends and best profit opportunity with ADX/ DMI and

Both peanut butter and jelly were packed with United States 
Army K-rations in World War II. The combination proved so 
popular that returning GIs made peanut butter and jelly a 
standard American food. 

In December 1999, two independent inventors, Len Kretchman and David Geske, were granted a U.S. patent, "Sealed Crustless Sandwich" for an improved peanut butter sandwich that would have a long shelf life. The J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM) bought the patent from the inventors and developed a commercial product based on the patent called Uncrustables. Smuckers then made a US$17 million dollar investment in a new factory to produce the product. By 2005, grew to $60 million a year with a 20% per year growth rate.
