Arnie, kudos for still another excellent brief. My question to everyone on the thread, and I hope this is not off-topic, is why the market continues to value Carl Karcher (NYSE:CKR) so much higher than FM given their comparable earnings projections. I realize CKR is also a very fine operation with far less debt load and a high-profile, expansionist management team. But I don't see how that translates into a 2:1 PE advantage. The question, then: is FM undervalued and/or is CKR overvalued, or is there a logical explanation for this differential? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
