UNFI
United Natural Foods Inc
stock NYSE

Hey guys, if you missed it, United Natural Foods ($UNFI) just agreed to settle $39 million with investors over claims that the company hid how inflation-related inventory gains were boosting its profits. The settlement terms have already been submitted to the court for approval.
In a nutshell, UNFI was accused of making its profits look stronger by buying extra inventory before expected price increases. Those gains helped hide rising labor costs and other challenges.
After UNFI cut its profit outlook in 2023, the stock dropped 28%, and investors filed a lawsuit.
The company has now agreed to a $39 million settlement. If you invested in $UNFI during that period, you can check the details and file your claim [here](https://11th.com/cases/unfi-investors-settlement).
Anyway, did anyone here invest in $UNFI at that time? How much did you lose, if so?

This is deceptive as the responses will have a sampling bias (those with good results will be more likely to respond). Also results will be skewed by leverage, options, concentration, day/swing trading, and short sampling period.
That said...my YTD return is 40.9%. In my case this is 50+ stocks, no leverage, mostly long term holdings. But I did get lucky. I got home runs from AMD, BAND. Triples from DOCN, WTTR, FCX...and a number of doubles like DXPE, TGT, AMKR, RAL, UNFI, and predicting the date of the CVGW/AVO merger. Without BAND and AMD, I'm likely in the low 30's.
So far active investing works for me (knock on wood), but there is extraordinary risk. I've had spectacular strike-outs on a few stocks. I also sold quite a few stocks too early (eg WELL, XOM, CVX). Most should stick to passive investing.
