Morton's and Ruth's Chris: Eat a Steak, Take a Stake for Juicy Profits

<< Ruths Chris is doing soooo well they just fired the CEO at the Lake Mary, FL board meeting this week. >>

So when things are bad, making changes is bad?

<< Bonuses to management were denied by the BOD as well, due to the company's poor performance. >>

So giving a bonus to mangement when they miss targets would be a good thing?

<< No mention at all about the effects on climbing food prices vs. declining margins. I suppose all their raw food costs must be locked in at last year's prices. >>

<< Why should we believe any of these hedgies (KDI)that are underwater on large positions in the consumer disc. companies? >>
