I understand your position. If you look at the cold hard facts, you are absolutely right about the dismal financial outlook of this company. I just think, somehow, if they could change the way the present the product, not the product itself because I think they have a great product, but the organization of how the store presents it, I think you would have a hit. Pricing is also a factor. In-store operations need to be looked at as well. But I think the product is there. And if you get a good management team to handle the above issues I spelled out, there is potential here for a hit. Maybe you need a established, successful fast food chain to step in and straighten it out, but I think you could. I do not know if the current management team could do it. I think, and it is only a guess, that someone or something will straighten it out in the long run. I do not have a long position in this company anymore, because as I told you, its too speculative at this point. But if someone wants to roll the dice and has the cash to lose, it might be worth the risk someday. My speculative cash is tied up elsewhere right now and BOST was one of my non-speculative investments. But as soon as I see signs of comeback, I'm right back in. The question I guess is whether there will be a comeback.... Steve
