dabum3, >>KREM split 2 for 1. Anyone buying at 75 would be underwater now on a split adjusted basis.<< Oh, cool! So it's still a high-flying pig. Got to admit I've been buying the rally recently, and not paying attention to KREM. Now that I'm getting ready for a market pullback, I'll put up better researched comments in a few days, as KREM still looks like a good target. Thanks! Cheers, Tuck

KREM My wife, kids, and grandparents visited the recently opened Krispy Kreme store in the Denver area, and left disappointed because of the 4 hour wait for doughnuts. Unbelievable! I've seen many cult stock phenomena in my day, but this one takes the cake... er, doughnut. <gg> It's still GROSSLY overvalued on a fundamental basis... Valuation Ratios ---------------------------------- Price/Book (mrq) 9.08 Price/Earnings (ttm) 89.03 Price/Sales (ttm) 4.75 Income Statements ---------------------------------- Sales (ttm) $300.7M EBITDA (ttm) $25.3M Income available to common (ttm) $14.7M Share-Related Items ---------------------------------- Market Capitalization $1.11B Shares Outstanding 26.3M Float 18.6M Short Interest (As of 9-Mar-2001) ---------------------------------- Shares Short 9.85M Percent of Float 53.0% Shares Short (Prior Month) 3.52M Short Ratio 18.88 Daily Volume 522.0K ... but appears to still have a lot of upwards momentum, similar to the y2k stocks in the late nineties and the dot.coms last year. Now if we could only prove KREM to be a fraud (which it isn't... the doughnuts are real... Damn!), then we'd be set. :) Razor PS - Look at the insiders bail post-lockup... biz.yahoo.com
