RE: "Well, if you ate at the restaurant and enjoyed the food and service, maybe you could visit it again! But buying the stock? That's a different thing altogether." Even if the banana creme pie was good?

Dippy, "I guess Peter Lynch said those things only to ensure that his "One Up on Wall Street" (and its near carbon copy, "Beating the Street") became bestsellers..." I read Lynch and recognized much of his position in Fisher's book "Uncommon profits from common stocks." (I think I remember this correctly.) Anyway, I thought Lynch said, 'if you see a product selling well in your local store then check the company's fundamentals out further. Good local sales can often be an early tip off to a good investment, but the fundamentals have to check out.' I do agree with the statements here that the Fool advice on this stock was foolish. They make me nervous--too much flash for me, I guess. David Todtman
