Glenn, you've got brains, just no patience! Stop trading and start investing. Screw the options! Hold for the long term and you'll be okay!

I just looked at the press release concerning Hardee's, and at this point I'm not concerned. CKE is a turnaround artist -- buy up restaurants that are struggling and turn them into cash cows. That may entail some short-term pain, but is a winning strategy long-term. Mgmt attributes the decrease to changes in the menu, but details are lacking. At this point it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Frankly, I'm more concerned with this notion of 10% stock dividends, because it seems to be aimed at fooling the investor, and that's a practice I definitely do not like!

Regards, and patience, my friend

Paul

Glen, I was frankly surprised by the low bond rating. I'm thinking of buying more tomorrow. The market certainly didn't seem to be upset by the outlook.

Regards,

Paul

Glen, here's a very detailed write-up on CKE's capital structure and prospects.

I decided to get out based upon the extreme leverage of the company. But, if they can pull it off it could pay off big-time for you if you hang in there. If you decide to stay, don't trade! Just forget you own it for a couple of years.

Regards,

Paul
