Field Research

So this weekend I decided to check out two products of two very hot stocks that we've been discussing online . I've never traded CMG nor had I ever been in one of their eateries but happened to pass one right here in Boca yesterday. A quick U-turn (it was almost lunchtime anyway) and I was in front of my first CMG experience.

I walked in at 12:15 and there was a line almost to the door. Hmmm...maybe there is something to this company after all. I didn't really know what the menu was except for the burrito that Brett always talks about but got online and knew I'd figure it out by the time my turn came.

There was an olive-skinned young man in front of me sweating profusely and carrying a backpack with some kind of gizmo in it with a red blinking light. He was mumbling to himself (or possibly to me) but it was mostly gibberish or a very foreign language. At that point I was thinking that my little research experiment was not worth dying for and was inching my way backwards toward the door. Then I rationalized that if he was going to blow the place up he would have done it BEFORE waiting on line for 15 minutes. So I stayed and avoided eye contact.
I ordered the carnitas burrito. I didn't know what to expect but what I got was a football sized lump of dough packed with enough food to feed a small family for a week. And mighty tasty too!

My opinion on CMG - Maybe the stock IS worth $100/share. So, BUY BUY BUY!!

My second research project of the weekend was this Monster Java that Jeff has been touting. I went to my local stupor-market and searched high and low. No go. I even asked the manager if they have it since they do have other Hansen products. Never heard of it, he said, but he will order it for me. I was about to tell him that it's a "game changer" and to buy lots of it... but thought better of that idea. Next I tried the C-store at my gas station. No luck. There's another store or 2 I can try but I'm out of time. So the jury is still out on HANS. In any case, for reasons previously mentioned, unless that drink is liquid gold, I'll probably still not buy the stock. But YMMV.
