Emerging Stock Idea: SPKL


Fast casual dining has been on the way up with companies like Chipotle-- Spicy Pickle also of Denver ilk is a company to consider. What are your thoughts about Fast Casual? Is it a concept that is recession proof i.e. people flow to it because their is a contraction in the economy, won't pay for a more formal dining experience but don't want fast food, or is it subject to the same pressure that other industries face in a recession? I think it's got a great story as is mentioned in our Spicy Pickle blog post but I'd like to hear what everyone on Social Picks thinks! As always do your due diligence on Spicy Pickle. This does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell OTC BB: SPKL.

As a customer I like the spicy pickle but I would say compared to something like chipotle it will have a much more difficult time differentiating itself amongst its competitors

allstarinvestor, thanks for the feedback. Why do you think it will have a more difficult time?

well chipotle was the first(as far as I am aware) to create a mass scale fast food mexican place, which meant they were first to the niche and will have a much easier time keeping to entrants out. Whereas for SPKL they are coming to the market having to compete with subway and quiznoes on the low end and places like panera on the higher end. Dont get me wrong I think there is a niche I only wonder how big it is.

Keep away from pennies. SPKL peaked way back at 2.00 in october 07' and has headed straight south since. If you can waste several hundred dollars take the risk at this level.

your comment is so uneducated it boggles the mind just because something went up 22% after you said "hey ill give it a chance" doesnt justify the thought process. Thats like picking red on a roulette wheel in vegas and winning and then saying that was a good strategy.

Of course you need a strategy, and the fact that you believe otherwise lead me to think that your days in the market are numbered.

If the stock market was easy to understand with strategys,formulas, ideas etc...... everyone was rich. Of course I was lucky with the 22% in two days, but my main objective was to point out that in the stock market you can't go with a strategy, nowadays, and about allways, in the stock you have to have an open-minded thinking to absorve stock market informations, trends, and have a thought what the stock will react in the future with the info. Now if you to a stock-market thinking you have the magic formula, and that the market will adapt to your estrategy, I'm sorry to say but your days in the market are numbered!!!! ;-)

A stock market strategy is not that same thing as a "magic formula" and being open minded about a stock or trend is always a good idea and should be incorporated into any strategy. One does not come up with a strategy in the hopes of the market "adapting" to that particular strategy, a strategy is selected because of its ability to exploit some facet of the market.

As you say if the market was easy to understand than everyone would be rich, but obviously net of fees the average investor will only do as well as the market average. Thus when competing with hedge funds and money managers who make it their career to outperform the market with particular strategies I really doubt that the liaise fair attitude you take to stock selection could stand up for any remote period of time.
