really? I went into one in the city earlier this year and will never go back. Overpriced generic food, imo.

Still going strong. I was curious to see what it did @ $4 and it broke through today with confidence. Still think there will be a settlement. I'll hold until then or sell before the trial in November.
anyone interested in LSI?

I really thought the bottom was when Actman got out and people like Soros and Cuban got in. 
Seemed like it could have an HPQ type rebound. Maybe this secondary is its "Autonomy moment." (HPQ's bottom after they wrote it down). Maybe not. There seems to be a lot of skepticism around the company's health and cash reserves.

Yeah, the secondary came after they said they didn't need to raise any more cash. Maybe they're just trying to get the bad news out of the way so as not to disturb any rebound in the stock price. I can see them at least getting back to the $13 level short term but won't do anything until it settles. Thx for your insight.Mystery Achiever said:I really thought the bottom was when Actman got out and people like Soros and Cuban got in.

How are we feeling about invisibility these days?

NGPHF - Northern Graphite
Many things can be accomplished with Graphite, not the least of which is sure to be invisibility. If you've ever wanted to be invisible, buy Graphite.
It seems like they'd be well-positioned were it not for the fact that they need money to move forward and nobody seems to want to give it to them. Other than that tiny detail, hey, sky's the limit.

And yes, I realize I wasn't the one you were asking. But how often does that stop me from sharing my thoughts?

Thank you. I was looking it up and saw another company mentioned in this area, FCSMF. I still don't know much about either one.And yes, I realize I wasn't the one you were asking. But how often does that stop me from sharing my thoughts?

I'm only posting when I sell these days. However I'll make an exception on one of the trades. I bought 4 shares of GOOG at $874.96. Ball so hard.details?

I was thinking about buying 1 share of BRK-A....Then i decided it would tie up too much capital. Seriously though, when buying GOOG/AAPL etc you have to divide the stock price by 10 and do your analysis.I'm only posting when I sell these days. However I'll make an exception on one of the trades.

Looks like the IPO is today if I'm not mistaken. Many years ago, I used to go to the original one on Lincoln frequently and always said if they go public, I'm in on it. So I guess today is the day. I hope each stock share comes with one of those oatmeal cookies.
Granted, I think they've spread their menu too wide since the original, but it's still my favorite Midwest sandwich place bar none.

I'd still prefer to go to a place like Perry's, but absent a "real" deli, I'll take it over the rest of the chains.

With no financial statements or background for PBPB, this is essentially gambling. I got in at 32.3 and got chicken and sold at 33.5 (100 share). Speaking of chicken, I'm going to take those 100 bones and go buy lunch at Potbelly for my family!
I'm going to wait a couple of days and see where it shakes out and then consider a longer term position.

Looks like you got out close to the top.
I have never heard of them pre-IPO, but it sounds like they have a lot of room to grow. CEO came from YUM.

Oh, and check out today's action in penny stock TWTRQ the day after Twitter announces it will use ticker TWTR.

Is it P LG?

FINRA finally halted TWTRQ trading when it was "only" up 684%.

I didn't realize it was a chain until this thread. I had it once, it was decent but not great.
there's at least 5 or 6 locations within a short walking distance of my office and they are always packed around noon. Chicago is lousy with Potbelly's.

I would imagine, like here, you're also lousy with great sandwich places. Not sure why people eat at them other than they are usually a couple of bucks cheaper.
Potbelly's makes a ####### fantastic sandwich. I'll fight anyone who thinks otherwise.
Just had a delicious Turkey BLT (w/ Nueske's bacon!) there for lunch today in honor of their IPO.

We just got our first Potbelly within the last year. This area is definitely NOT, however, lousy with great sandwich places.

I tried one of the Jewish Delis over by the hospital last time we were in, Bob. Heard great things about it. Kopperman's, I think. VERY disappointing. Gonna need a good sandwich place recommendation from you for next trip in.
St. Louis Bob
Footballguy
Never even heard of it.
Adrianna's is close to there, great place. Of course then you have Eovaldi's and Southwest Market in the same area. Can't go wrong with any of them.

And of course there is always Amighetti's too.

We just got a Jersey Mikes. I'm guessing Potbelly is light years away.

I don't know what to say. It just wasn't anything special. Maybe just a bad day for them that day. This was on Park Ave down around the 20's. I was looking for lunch last week on 45th and saw one that was empty at lunchtime. I was tempted to go in but there was a Sophie's (Cuban sandwich shop that I love) right next store. It was crowded but I still went there instead. There's a real big one on 7th and 37th that I'll try to get to. I'll give them another shot.

Closed over 5 today. Had I been home I might have gotten out. I'll see what happens Monday.

Sales news out today is turning the stock. Will it stick beyond short-covering is the question.Yeah, the secondary came after they said they didn't need to raise any more cash.

Back on the XONE train. Bought 250 shares two days ago at $50.50, sold today at $52.25. Will try to trade this between $49 and $53 over next week or two.

$25.30, very tempted to jump in now.
ETA: in at $25.32, only a small amount of play money.

I like this place a lot. Eat there when in DC all the time. Might be good to put a few IRA dollars on it.
XONE not giving me a chance at reentry. Boo.
I bought some PBPB when it dipped to $30.00 last week. Doubled up today at $24.00.

Such a crowded market. I don't see how PB sets itself apart from the rest. It's not like Chipotle, which is at least a little unique.I bought some PBPB when it dipped to $30.00 last week. Doubled up today at $24.00.
I disagree. I think it's well set up to grow and differentiate itself from what's out there now. There are a billion Subway locations and their food is garbage. It's also more affordable than Jimmy Johns and Quiznos.Such a crowded market. I don't see how PB sets itself apart from the rest.

also not sure how Chipotle is unique when they have to compete with Taco Bell, Qdoba, Baja Fresh, Moe's, and many other
smaller taco/burrito chains around the country.
here's an older article on their plans:

I guess it's a regional thing because I've never seen a Baja Fresh, Qdoba or Moe's in NYC. They only have to compete with Taco Bell and that's not a problem.I disagree.

Not saying you can't make money with PB but I wouldn't touch it until it settles back towards it's IPO around $14, maybe under $20. Way too much risk at this point, imo.
