I have never said that this company does not look like a shipwreck, 7/8 submerged under the water. You are right, it is! And I do not blame anyone from bailing. I did from my major position. But does it have enough to turn around? That is the big question. And will new management team have a shot? Its a crap shoot now, bankruptcy or turnaround! But I totally disagree that the food is not healthy and the concept is not good. People believed in the concept and liked the food when it shot over 40 didn't they? Are you going to compare McDonald's or Burger King's food in health quality to BOST'S? Come on, no comparison! But hear me, a BOST turnaround is purely speculation and based on their numbers, you are correct in saying that stock looks really bad. But I am going to roll the dice... Steve

You are certainly welcome to your opinion about BOST as a stock or as a eatery. One area in which you seem to show ignorance, however, is in your comment about the food being 'highly caloric'. Calorie content of food is of little importance when you are considering the healthfulness of the food. More important are fat content, and fat type. Some of Boston Market's foods are indeed fairly high in fat. Some are not. Overall the food is on the good end of fast food. Some items can be very low fat if you ask for a slight change. For example the chicken carver is a fairly high fat sandwich if you eat the mustard (mayo is in it) and cheese, but without those it is quite healthful. The meal I eat there is very low fat (<10 grams)... Thats hard to do at McDonalds. cAPSLOCK
