Nathan’s: Like Buying a Hot Dog For a Nickel [view article]
Insiders don't seem to be too enthusiastic about NATH. No insider purchases in over two years.... ReplyNathan's Famous: Well-Known Brand, Unknown Stock [view article]
I agree with all your points and, in addition, I would net out the excess cash when looking at the P/E. There is close to $35m of excess cash or $5 to $6 per share. Net of excess cash you are paying about $8 or $9 per share vs 77 cents of EPS or less than 11x or 12x. Excess cash balances should continue to build up over time since there are few working capital or capital expenditure requirements here. Also you have a very smart lead investor in Steel Partners with close to 15% ownership. I agree that NATH is a good bet. ReplyProvocative Finding: Fast Food Doesn't Make You Fat [view article]
Thrre were a lot fewer McDonalds and Burger Kings in 1956. We had to drive 30 miles tothe closest one. ReplyProvocative Finding: Fast Food Doesn't Make You Fat [view article]
This article has nothing to do with investing.Having said that, the research paper (published five months ago) misses the point. Anderson and Matsa conclude correctly that it is the individual's eating habits that are the main contributor to obesity. Those that eat more at home will consume more outside as well.
The question the study should have addressed, that it so conveniently sidestepped, is whether or not 'portion sizes' in restaurants have influenced what is considered to be a normal calorie intake at home as well. In other words, has calorie intake per meal increased or decreased with the advent of fast food restaurants becoming the accepted norm and not the occasional splurge.
If people model their meals at home after servings sold in restaurants that compete with others for 'bets value' appearances, this could be a major contributor to the obesity issue.
