I haven't been to Flemings. I went to Shulas maybe once before they went private. I will have to try both. I like Ruth's Chris and own some stock with them too.
Good points. Thanks for weighing in.
Your brokerage representative can tell you if they can do it and what the process entails.
Do you still think Seeking Alpha has it right as it relates to FIVE?
I'm a new investor. What happened with knock-off?
I'm in. Are you still long?
Good comments. Recently, I started investing in BLMN for many of these same reasons. For me, I look for more of a dining experience versus just a plain sit down meal.

Has anyone declared their shares worthless with their brokerage? If so, why? If not, why?
It seems the AWYI website is gone too.
I have searched for other companies of this type without much success. I would be interested if others find this an attractive investment compared to equities.
What is your buy-in pps?
This is a new board for the holding company of multi-state amusement parks. I have a small number of shares and look forward to adding more in the future. The most notable aspect of the stock is that it isn't an equity. It is a publicly traded partnership. Here is the exact wording from a FAQ on their website:
How is Cedar Fair different from a corporation?
Cedar Fair is structured as a Master Limited Partnership (MLP), as opposed to a corporation. MLP's are businesses that are taxed at the unitholder level and generally not subject to federal or state income tax. Annual income, gains, losses, deductions or credits of the MLP pass through to its unitholders, and are then allocated to each unitholder based on the number of units held and their acquisition date. This information is presented annually to the unitholder on a Schedule K-1.
High Value Calls look good unless they are looking to pump and dump.
What are warrants terms?
I agree that we should get some answers from the Arne instead of letting our minds wander about what happened to our money. I am not necessarily in favor of repackaging AWYI and selling it to unsuspecting newbies, but may I say that I am not opposed to getting my money back.
Arnie,
Are there going to be any more fireside chats? Btw, where is my money?
Thanks for your perspective. I am making money on FVE too. How did you conclude undervalue compared to others in their market?
Has anyone contacted the SEC? I know there was a leadership change so, I'm wondering if AWYI somehow fell between the cracks. If so, please re-post status.
Thanks for the bio. Good to know we can extradite without creating an international incident; if needed.
I love the store. And, expecting to invest after rebalance.
How does FVE measure up to competitors?
I'm a new investor of RUTH. Any new developments?
Any word on next steps as it relates to escrow?
Arne, where is my money?
Any idea what happens to Shorts on a stock split?
Put in an order for SOUP and pulled it; limit price not met. Still need to check my local store and get a taste of the product.
Will the last one left, turn the lights out? This is a sad state of affairs. Yet, we should take some solace in the SEC actions. Could it be that Arne will be witness for the prosecution at hearings/ trials with Cornell/ Yorkville as defendants? That statement looks like Arne is singing like a Blue Jay. If Arne can stay out of jail, he may revive AWYI. Otherwise, it will look like he was in on the scam. SEC becomes a gift in disguise as it relates to getting rid of Cornell/ Yorkville. AWYI could come back. If it does, I hope we will be done with the shenanigans that we had to deal with over the years. Arne, where is my money?
Christmas wishes already? Come on guys. It seems SEC should have been after companies like AWYI for scamming consumers. We are out lots of money in most cases and it seems there is nothing to compel AWYI to clear up filings questions. The first one being, where is my money Arnie? If SEC did these things right, people would go to jail and that would be a deterrent to future scams like AWYI. On another note, the reverse split is likely a non-event because SEC revoked AWYI a some point before the latest antics in the scam could be pulled off. My brokerage account still shows pre-reverse split shares. So, the R/S never happened. And, who cares anyway. Most people just want their money Arnie.
Thanks for info. These are good endorsements/ paid spokesmen. I will keep following the stock.
I will check my local store today and buy some if I find it. If it is really good, the warehouse clubs need to pick it up in order for this stock to take off. I was wondering about the stock pps staying relatively flat since I started following it about 3-4 months ago. What kind of volume has this stock seen? Also, is the Outback Steakhouse co-founder still on board?
Thanks for the update.
Recap Requested
Were my shares R/Sd or do I still own the same number of shares as shown in my brokerage account? Also, what of the filings? Why no further CEO chats? Has Arne left the building?
Are we rich yet?
What is the latest on getting this stock trading again on the big board? I thought the R/S and increase of authorized shares was supposed to save us. What happened?
What was the point of the SEC investigation?
Shareholders are probably worse off than before SEC action. If SEC had required filings and proper accounting within the existing share structure, AWYI shareholders would see immediate price appreciation. As it is now, scam companies like AWYI have learned to let the SEC revoke the security. Then, they can change share structures, impose trading restrictions, and insiders can cash in during the restriction period. AWYI is a scam company. It will surprise me if anyone other than Arne, Cornell, and Market Makers make money on this shell company's scam stock.
It is hard to believe we are still taking about how much AWYI owes Cornell. Their shares should have been sold by now. Even if AWYI gave them more shares to account for low share price.
Reverse Split (R/S)+ Authorized Shares (A/S) Increase = Nonsense
R/S can be good if price is not manipulated. Yet, the chances of manipulation is high based upon a prior post. A/S Increase should require Shareholder majority approval of AWYI dilution. Otherwise, AWYI should just Forward Split (F/S) and give existing shareholders more shares as a dividend.
Louie,
You make good points. Even with filings, that may be delayed, the shareholders are still left holding the bag unless the SEC institutes sanctions above and beyond delist from Pink Sheets. After long awaited filings, we will likely find substantial dilution along with substantial financial losses. Also, it seems the SEC's ultimate sanction in these matters is Revoked Status. Is that where we are heading?
