WESTON, Fla., May 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Tubac Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TBAH), Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ), Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE:TYC), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC).
Aggressive investors and day traders may begin to take a look at Tubac Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TBAH) this morning! Friday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that subsidiary Chef Selections, Inc. will utilize an innovative network marketing approach to sell its world class gourmet/specialty food products.
This could be good news for investors! Capitalizing on this rising trend to take a novel, fresh approach to sales and marketing, Chef Selections will use the in-home party direct selling method to bring together good food, good friends and financial success. Chef Selections will sell lines of proprietary gourmet delights as well as those from small manufacturers looking to establish distribution channels for their high quality, small batch items. The company is targeting the $45 billion specialty foods market, which is the fastest growing segment of the $650 billion food and beverage industry.
According to recent studies, 500,000 new millionaires emerged in the United States in the last five years, and 100,000 of them came from the network marketing industry. With corporate downsizing, at-home parents looking to supplement family incomes, the explosion of home-based businesses, and the ease and reach of Internet-based technology, market conditions are ideal for networking. Each week 45,000 people are entering the direct selling arena.
"The time is right for network marketing and Chef Selections has the perfect product offering for a direct sales distribution channel," said Harold Tanner, President and CEO of Tubac. "The company's value proposition is based on delivering distinctive, high quality gourmet foods through a network of independent salespeople motivated by what we feel is the best compensation plan in the industry. It is a recipe for spectacular success."
