If penny has it listed run for the hills...
I would love to stop paying taxes when I retire...

Thanks God the Republicans will remain in the White House...
My guess is we will be just fine....Nice to see someone (me) actually post about a team from the left coast. Most people believe baseball is only played in NY/Boston...
That is all they have done for the last several months. One poster here claims to have "loaned" the company 100K or so in an effort to stop the dumping of shares. No way to verify that since he claimed they promised him that they wouldn't dump anymore share yet here we are again...
Doesn't sound like it...

LAD: LHP Clayton Kershaw (0-0, -.-- ERA)
The Dodgers' youth movement hit another milestone when 20-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw was promoted to the Major Leagues from Double-A. Kershaw was 0-3 with a 2.28 ERA, 47 strikeouts, 15 walks and 32 hits allowed in 43 1/3 innings at Double-A Jacksonville, where his erratic workload was designed to preserve his arm for a pennant-race run in Los Angeles.
Hmmmm so they are really so broke that if little things go wrong they are forced to sell shares? So much for cash flow!
When did he pump 5 million more shares into he mix?
JASDIP...

Casual dining stocks rise following upgrade of Ruby Tuesday
NEW YORK (Thomson Financial) - Shares of casual dining restaurants rose
Wednesday after an analyst upgrade of Ruby Tuesday Inc. lifted sentiment.
Ruby Tuesday rallied as much as 9% to $8.56 in recent trading after hitting
a high of $8.63, the highest level since Jan. 7.
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey upgraded Ruby Tuesday to buy from neutral, citing
the stock's recent underperformance.
"We recommend investors reconsider Ruby Tuesday, as its shares have traded
off as a result of declining earnings and a high level of debt," analyst
Christopher O'Cull wrote to clients.
O'Cull said during the past 12 months, declining same-restaurant sales have
resulted in a precipitous fall in margin and rising leverage ratios. While some
may view this performance as warranting a below-average price-to-earnings
multiple, "we believe the company has the potential to create positive returns
for income-oriented investors given its significant free cash flow potential."
Other casual dining stocks also traded higher, with shares of Darden
Restaurants Inc. up 4% at $36.74 and Cheesecake Factory Inc. 3.1% higher at
$22.38.
Elsewhere, shares of Texas Roadhouse Inc. rose 1.5% to $11.89 and California
Pizza Kitchen Inc. added 2.2% to $15.59.
