I tend to have a similar view to Aaron on PB. Maybe partially because I remember walking through the streets of Chicago and often encountering lines out the door at many of them. I get how a NYer would view them as subpar. Your options on that front a ridiculous. It's not like that everywhere, though. And they've still managed to thrive in one of the few cities that actually has real delis to compete with them.

For the most part, though, those kinds of places aren't going to be their competition. Most people who want a sandwich, particularly one that's not going to cost them $10+, are going to go to one of the crap chains. And imo, PB is on a tier above all of the major ones.

That said, I was also waiting and hoping for a sub-$20 entry point. I don't know if it'll get there, but I'm willing to wait out the hype and see how their growth strategy plays out. That's going to be the wild card with them, I think. How do they satisfy the street's expectations without being irresponsible about new store decisions and franchising, which could kill profitability?

 
I found it odd that PB gave back nearly $50 million in capital raised as a one time dividend to pre-IPO shareholders only. Is that a common thing to do?

After that 40% drop, I grabbed some American Airlines (AAMRQ) @ 2.85. Record monthly profit after the bell yesterday, hopefully it shows up with the down day coming.

Sold today @3.60I'll definitely be looking to get back in. A little nervous with the whole Syria thing. A judge just accepted their bankruptcy plan, which included the US Airways merger. Now it's just down to the DOJ trial. State wants to do it in March, the airline pushing for November. Rumors of settlement around.

Back in @3.29 Not sure why the dip today but I bought into it.
Click to expand...
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.

Out a 5.60.I'll enjoy my flight tomorrow on AA to see the Dolphins even more.

details? I am looking at aapl given the recent news that they may be buying back an insane amount number of shares.....If there is enough of a dip with general market condition, this may be a good short term entry point.

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.

Sold BIDU today at a nice 50%+ Profit. Bought earlier this year in mid $90s. Would love to hold, but afraid to get too greedy.

I really thought the bottom was when Actman got out and people like Soros and Cuban got in. :shrug: 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.
Click to expand...
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.

Sales news out today is turning the stock. Will it stick beyond short-covering is the question.

I think it's time to get in on jcp. (7.00)

 
Just wanting some feed back on NBG(National Bank of Greece), looks to me like a good stock to invest long-term. Any advise much appreciated!

Am I missing the point of this post and your prior SBUX post? Are you just pointing out stocks that are having a good day? Or have you posted in here prior to them going up saying we should invest and I missed it? Don't get me wrong, if you are in these stocks and making money I am happy for you, but something posted about why there will be a bump is appreciated.

sorry. was just enjoying the ride on some stocks I bought.

I've owned Corning forever so was nice to see it taking off today.

obviously the market has been doing great so I'm sure there are many stocks similar to SBUX that are up big recently. earlier this year I decided to buy stock in companies I liked. things like SBUX, AMZN, COST, DTV, etc. SBUX was up way more than the rest so I gave it a shout out.

PBPB also doing well since it bottomed out last week.

you can probably ignore my posts as I don't really know what I'm doing here.

Should have held my American Airlines a little longer...up to 6.45 today. Haven't found a new entry point yet.

Although I am in on JCP @7.00 :scared:

How do you compare potbelly to other 'semi premium' sandwich chains like Togos, Quiznos, etc? I'd consider those two a tier better than subway and direct competitors to PBPB.

Why? I fully admit I'm nowhere near being an expert investor, but this company looks to be in full on :tfp: mode.

It's strictly a short term gamble. I think it's oversold at this point and can get back to near 10 by the end of the year. Sure, they could go bankrupt next year but I think they had enough of a cash infusion to make it through the holiday season and into the second half of next year. There was actually some positive news from their 2Q report with a month-to-month improvement in revenue and a slowing in losses from their online sales (from down 30% to down 2.2%). A lot of their loss is attributed to them having to shed product from the previous CEO. They've come to an agreement with Disney to set up a store-within-a-store and got rid of their Martha Stewart home line, which could help them in Macys lawsuit against them. Another Ron Johnson initiative, btw.

Most importantly, my Mom says she's glad to have "her Penny back" The return to coupon deals will bring back their loyal old people fans. Can they reshape themselves to appeal to a younger clientele? No idea. I don't expect to still be in that long but will continue to monitor JCP.

I think 3Q results will push this higher but I'm not sure I'll have the nerve to stay in as the holiday reports start coming in. Retail as a whole will have a rough season so I hope to be out by years end.

 
Now if you want to talk crazy, I jumped in on NQ yesterday @10.51

:gulp:

eta: an unfortunately missed a great re-entry into AAMRQ

Good luck. When they had to sell 80 million shares to raise capital after denying they needed to raise capital, that imo screamed yet another monstrous red flag. Some analysts have recently downgraded the target stock price down to $1.00.

I just don't see any reason to jump in. But with the stock at a 30 year low, no denying it's a great time to buy if you see a rebound ahead. Best of luck to you. I'll be extremely curious to see how it shakes out.

 
I have a good feeling VPCO is going to be a good buy. Anyone else think it has the chance to be the next Hansen's Natural?

From now till about 2015, will FREE and the dry bulk shipping stocks become good buys again or will it continue it's downward trend?

Back into XONE after the drop. 265 at $51.55. Hoping for a pop to $53 in next day or two.

Hit $53 a few times but I got greedy and wanted $53.25. Didn't get it. Hope to be out of this position tomorrow...and maybe back in by market close.

I have misplayed this trade and left some $ on the table so far. Got a little greed and for what, maybe $100 at most.

Still an easy daily trader between $49 and $53.
