No Bickering... Just My Opinion     21-Oct-09 10:10 pm    
This board seems to be more of a battlefield than a message board. It would be nice to see some actual analysis. Looking over this company's earnings and call notes, it's not hard to see that this is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Let's look at some facts.

- Company has closed close to 10% of it's restaurants the last 2 years. This will continue as their real estate continues to become outdated and sales decrease.

- Company's average restaurant volumes are disimal. Backed up by personal experience. Go on a Friday night and they are the restaurant not on a wait. Direct reflection of operations.

- This company has changed identies so many times it doesn't have one anymore. It is in need of a niche or it will continue to die off.

- The company remodeled it's restaurants, but the real estate they own is old and off the beaten path. I think they forgot that you can't relocate restaurants. The "upscale" restaurants next to the run down truck stop fit right in... sarcasm.

- Franchise growth is virtually none. Company owned growth is none.

- Opened for another meal period to try and pad sales. Opening for breakfast is never a good thing... screams desperation.

- Last and perhaps the worst.... This company is using coupons as their sole marketing plan. The problem with that is that they are still down year over year meaning that they will have to continue to increase coupons every year just to keep pace.

JMO good luck i'm short at 8.30 looking for a price target in Q1 of < 5.00
