Steak n Shake: Watching and Waiting as Biglari Names Himself CEO [View article]
Biglari was not that far on margin with the FRN investment -- there was some margin for a short while, but cash from insurance proceeds were on the way so he effectively only borrowed against that.
I do however agree with most of the rest of User 71887's post. Aside from performance at the Lion Fund, Biglari's single most positive action was the investment in FRN, and it isn't clear what portion of that was luck vs. skill. Aside from that, all he has provided is coining a lot of phrases from Buffett and talking about a strategic plan. Now he's got two large resturant companies without operational management, and probably has his hands full.
