The announcement Tuesday sent shares of the grocer spiking 8 percent to a five-year high. So-called ''poison pill'' plans allow existing shareholders to acquire more stock at a discounted rate to discourage a takeover by an outside entity. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission later Tuesday, Jana Partners disclosed that it had amassed a 6.2 percent stake in Safeway's outstanding shares. It said it ''believes the shares are undervalued and represent and attractive investment opportunity.'' The hedge fund said it has held and ''may continue to have'' talks with Safeway's management regarding strategic alternatives, including a review of the markets where it operates and exiting lower-margin regions. Safeway's defensive plan becomes exercisable if a person or group acquires 10 percent or more of the company's common stock, or 15 percent by an institutional investor. A representative for Safeway wasn't immediately available for comment. The grocer, which also operates Vons, did point out the strategic initiatives it has undertaken to increase value for shareholders, including the recent $5.7 billion sale of its Canadian unit and the initial public offering of Blackhawk Network, its gift and prepaid card unit.

Consider your investment strategy .. at each season of your life Fall is almost officially here — and if you're like most people, you're probably wondering how summer went by so fast. Those trips to the lake or the beach are fading in memory now, giving way to helping kids with homework, raking leaves and the other rites of autumn. And just as your day-to-day tasks change with the seasons, so, too, will your money management and investment activities at different phases of your life. Here's how these scenarios might look: Phase one: Planning for possibilities — When you're young and you're starting out in the working world, your most immediate financial concerns may be to pay off student loans and then, possibly, save for a down payment on a house. To address both these goals, you'll Don't Despair need to budget carefully. And yet, even at this stage of your life, you should start thinking about saving for retirement — because time is your biggest ally. Consequently, if you work for an employer who offers a retirement plan, such as a 401(k), contribute what you can afford. At the very least, put in enough to earn your company's matching contribution, if one is offered. You may also want to open an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Phase two: Gearing up for other goals — As you move through life, and possibly begin a family, you'll likely develop other financial goals, such as helping your children pay for college. You may want to consider investing in a tax-advantaged college savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan. Also, it's Frontier Village Farmers Market is year Round every Saturday 8-1.
