Just disclosing that I no longer see an attractive risk-reward proposition at current prices given the recent run-up, without commensurate fundammental developments (that I know of) save a decent set of comps, a new store... login to read the rest view available tags

I want to disclose that I substantially reduced my position today at $2.08. As usual, I have no idea what caused the surprising run-up of the last day and a half. There are... login to read the rest view available tags

Fwiw, when asked about another acquisition, Boppel said in a early 01 inteview with the WS Transcript: "We're very pleased with how things are going, but we're probably going to be out of the acquisition... login to read the rest view available tags

Good questions. I'm sure I'll miss some. P&O 13 of 14 are in SoCal, w/ one in Phoenix. I've eaten there, but I only have a dim memory. Your niche understanding is pretty much... login to read the rest view available tags

Ok, I've gone to the P & O website (www.breadstick.com) and watched the little video - this looks a lot like a Steak and Shake, except for maybe a tad more upscale, both in food... login to read the rest view available tags

6	member 12/30/01 9:12PM Maybe they could merge with MA
Then they could name those units 'Pat & Oscar and Max & Erma'...A darn funny write-up. I'll admit, I'm out of my depth with this one, but the pleasure of reading your write-up brightened view available tags

Roark, I enjoyed reading your posting. Thanks. Pepper view available tags

You've really gotten to the heart of it. 1. The P&O acquisition is the archetypical diworsification yellow flag. After looking into it, I don't think the flag is gone, but there are some bright... login to read the rest view available tags

Kidding. It would be ugly. Although litigation risk from a US BSE outbreak would be blunted thanks to SZ's pretty deep insurance coverage and its hyper-paranoid state as a result of the E.... login to read the rest view available tags

Nice write-up. As you hold this stock for the "intermediate term," what do you think the impact on the stock would be of a mad cow scare in the US? view available tags
