RE: DIN, CBRL and the Chicken Spread

I never gave up on BWLD, EAT, etc. Took some huge losses. The 10% cut your losses rule is now in force in my household. The fundamentals never presented a boolish case as far as I was concerned. Hey!!! I was right and the market wrong.

Schwab has CBRL on its "HTB" list. Tell you anything???

Now for the chicken spread. I shorted TSN and SAFM yesterday. SAFM is on the HTB list - sold calls. Both have raced too high and/or suffer from ridiculous, worst is over bounces. As foolish as it sounds, these chicken processors run up into Memorial Day and then take gas. I think that chicken margins may be coming back on lower commodity (corn) prices. But the damage done was huge. Massive plant closings which won't be reversed soon. I don't see corn staying low for too long.

(Am having trouble posting charts today. Hope the TSN and SAFM charts appear below)
