personally I don't like the restaurant sector

I remember going to a state seminar for small businesses and their experience was the largest group of failed small businesses was the restaurant group

I would do maybe a restaurant supply stock if I felt I needed to incorporate it in my portfolio

Upped my very few shares in restaurant stock FRS just a little today:

Not liked by Motley Fool columnist:

I see the company's been profitable every year for past ten, p/e isn't too high. Looks to me like a very mediocre company selling at a moderately attractive price relative to where it's sold before. A situation that W. Buffett would avoid, but I'm willing to try to hold shares another couple of quarters.

Fwiw, trimmed JPM (losing patience), trimmed NNBR, sold AMPH, took my lumps on auto supplier DRRA with sale, trimmed CPWR, ADG - companies in which I've had a position for several years and of which I am just tired waiting.
