Will FB Stock Split in 2017?
Many investors think Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is unaffordable at $137.00 per share. The social media stock seems out of reach. A FB stock split in 2017 would solve that problem. There is no fixed timeline on the Facebook stock split date in 2017, but investors should stay hopeful.
The Board of Directors approved a 3-for-1 stock split in April 2014.
Facebook has yet to pull the trigger on this plan (for reasons unknown). But the share price is breaking new ground every few months, making me optimistic for a FB stock split in 2017.
Some of you may be thinking: The price of Facebook stock doesn’t matter; I only care about the return. Did I make 10%, 100%, 200%? Capital gains don’t change based on nominal prices.
This is technically true. Paying $13.70 for ten shares of a company is the same as paying $137.00 for one share. But retail investors don’t see it that way and I can understand why.
Unlike professional money managers, most of us start off with small sums of money.
We are trading our own fortunes. This means we take risk more seriously. Every new trade is an opportunity to learn something new about investing. What works, what doesn’t. We need the freedom and flexibility to shift our holdings with ease.
Imagine a young trader making his first move on the stock market. He has $1,000 to invest.
He knows a few Wall Street types who “understand” the stock market, so he asks them for advice. One tells him that Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a spectacular stock. The others agree. Amazon, they tell him, is going to surge by triple-digits in the next year.
OK, he decides, I’ll put half of my money in AMZN stock.
Except that he can’t. The going rate for Amazon stock is $852.05. Which means he would need to put 85% of his wealth into a single company to own its shares. That is a direct consequence of the costliness of Amazon’s share price.
I know that’s an extreme example. But it illustrates a simple point. Namely, that share prices can get too expensive. Wall Street elites can laugh at that all they want, but corporate executives seem to understand this basic concept. That’s why stock splits exist.
If nothing else, they provide liquidity to a company’s shares. So don’t be surprised if Facebook acts on its stock split plan this year; the Board of Directors gave it authority long ago.

I Would Think That When This Lawsuit Is Settled We Go Forward....
A Facebook Inc shareholder filed a proposed class action lawsuit on Friday in a bid to stop the company’s plan to issue new Class C stock, calling the move an unfair deal to entrench Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg as controlling shareholder.
The lawsuit, filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, followed the social networking company’s announcement on Wednesday of its plan to issue the shares.

Yes! Indeed..................
WEDBUSH Analysy: ""We expect Facebook to continue its rapid growth overseas, and expect it to expand monetization of underpenetrated Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger assets over the coming years." wrote Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who described Facebook's competitive advantages as "virtually insurmountable." Facebook is scheduled to report second-quarter results after the market close Wednesday.

Pollo Loco Slowly Coming Back.............
SOURCE: Q1 2016 SEC COMPANY FILINGS.
Zoe's and Shake Shack are expanding revenue at a much faster pace than El Pollo Loco. To be fair, El Pollo Loco has been in business for over 36 years. Though it made its debut on the public markets only recently, in July 2014, it hasn't generated quite the sustained market buzz that the more recent IPOs of Zoe's and Shake Shack have.
Still, El Pollo Loco has undoubtedly stagnated as of late, and it shows in the paltry 0.7% comparable-store sales growth achieved in its most recent quarter. The company should be raising comparable sales at least within spitting distance of its competitors.
Management's solution to driving comps is twofold. First, the company is intensifying its marketing. El Pollo Loco named a new marketing agency of record, Harmelin Media, in April. The restaurant franchise will begin ramping up direct mail as well as radio and digital advertising, and it even intends to tweak external store signage, with the goal of better educating customers about its menu.
The chain has also begun testing a mobile app that will form the basis for a digital platform to more directly engage customers and build loyalty. Management has indicated that the app will move out of beta to a formal launch in 2016.
El Pollo Loco would gain much momentum from these efforts to improve comps, as it's already increasing its location count at a fairly brisk clip. While Zoe's and Shake Shack will each grow their total restaurant bases by roughly 13% through the next three quarters of this year, El Pollo Loco's pace isn't that far behind for a company that's much older. If it hits the top of its projected store opening range, El Pollo Loco will expand its store base by about 7% through the next three quarters of 2016.
Having lost 53% of its value since its IPO, El Pollo Loco has the market dismissing and discounting it, even though it tends to exhibit higher profitability relative to its peers. However, its revenue issues aren't unsolvable, and while it doesn't sport Shake Shack's 43% growth rate, it's capable of faster top-line improvement and deserves a higher multiple. In other words, El Pollo Loco is cheap, but it's also very likely undervalued.

Josh, I don t believe this! Sun Trust downgraded $LOCO two days ago & now they bought 30,000 shs of $LOCO in ONT.
Yes! This tells The Story !
There have been several messages thru out the messages boards how this repeats. In several cases it's right on, but others are just made up lies.
Hopefully, LOCO is just a fund wanting cheap shares. We need good numbers to keep the share price going up.

detearing, Is This Good or Bad ?............
El Pollo Loco (LOCO), the eatery known for its fire-grilled chicken and which bills itself as a faster fast casual, said Chief Operating Officer Kay Bogeajis left the company, effective on March 30, “to pursue personal interests.” Her responsibilities will be transitioned to others while the company looks for a successor.
Pollo Loco also added William Floyd and Carol Lynton to its board, effective April 1. Floyd was COO of Taco Bell and KFC, both of which were part of PepsiCo‘s (PEP) restaurant division. Lynton is co-founder and operating partner of the Dinex Group, a specialty restaurant business, and also co-founded Telebank, an Internet bank.
