Dennis,
Welcome back, big guy. Hope you had a blast. Those times sure go by fast, don't they. Oh, well...back to the old rut...including the RAIN thread, huh? I agree with some of your RAIN concerns. Whenever the higher ups start getting that kind of attitude, kind of makes me wonder if maybe they're getting a little too big for their own britches. Funny how important all of the little guys are at first when the cash is so badly needed. Makes you think that what the best interests are may vary from person to person, and the volatility you spoke of may go with that. As much room for growth as this company has, I doubt that I would want to hold on as long as I once thought I would. I expect it still should do quite nicely for a while, however SBAM is both more and less than a restaurant stock. Beverages, convenience stores, and more than 1 restaurant name involved. However, hard to get certain info, and absolutely still a lightweight at this point. Today hanging at the close at 7/16, I believe. WON and ATIS, both of which I've mentioned in the past, appear to merit further watching, although I still particularly like ATIS for the next 1-2 years, as if their studies and FDA pendings come through, they seem to have the potential to hit AMGEN like numbers, or possibly better. Until stuff happens though, still nothing but guessing. DANB had a slight move up today, finally closing over 22 again, and slightly higher than usual volume. Hopefully, with earnings coming, some momentum can be gotten. Also, saw a few weeks ago an article about BEARS(yech!) at DANB....turned out ok when I realized they were referring to the football kind(what you had brought up prior to leaving). Glad to have you back. The thread isn't the same without our "aging receptacle of knowledge."
Lots of future happiness,
Marshall |
