GENK. Hypocritical of me with GENK here: When people tell me they won't buy a stock because they can't get comfortable with the stock, I say, "What's comfort got to do with it?" Well, here I am. Seems so niche of a business, and I've no idea what this Korean restaurant does differently or better than any other Korean restaurant. Is Korean food getting to be big or is it already -- like ubiquitous Japanese, Chinese? I live near many Korean restaurants, and they're mostly (not all) a mystery to me. Somehow, they're not inviting. Likely my problem.
Anyway, this has got me checking again the numbers for my pick of JACK. JACK's all around here, I can see the traffic, I can see the adverts. Except for this year apparently, the company's been profitable every year going back at least 15. The rev's growing (acquisition helps). Low p/e. Looks like a 4% dividend yield. Stock's up a little today, up a few points from 12-mo low. I'll take a few more shares. finance.yahoo.com. Might not be as good a choice as GENK, but my comfort level is definitely much higher here. -g- |
