Seeing all the complaints about stale bars out there, I would expect that some was the product that they got from BB at those times. It may not actually be ALL the 'new manufacturer'.
I purchased a new box of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough on BB.com a week or so ago, rcvd it, and tasted just like all the others. Soft inside, chocolate looks great on the outside, I have bought many different boxed, VERY LITTLE difference between boxes. However, I only purchase CCCookieDough so that is just my experience.
As far as investment wise, I have sold my shares, and like I told Madcow, I actually made money over the years on MSLP. The last purchases were losers, but the 2 transactions before that were winners.
I gave the company the benefit of the doubt through the restructuring, and wanted to see it play out with new management. Cutting headcount, SKUs, etc, its what needed to happen, but they were too far gone. Obviously didn't work, but if it had, they would have been a quite profitable company. Their products are good, brand is good, management is crap....
Sometimes you make money, sometimes you lose money, risky stocks like this are always gamble, hence small weightings and diversification.
Unless you are MadCow, you never lose and always win.
