You make a few good points...but say we get the quarterly report roughly a year from now, and they are more than just cash flow positive, they are profiting immensely. Now say they are fully reporting and as transparent as it gets with their share structure, business plan, and financials. My question is, would all of this transparency, stable o/s, and a profiting pink like dtsl drive this pps up greatly, and with the current o/s, what would your best guess be as far as the pps when that point arrives?



O330, while you never used the word 'if', you might as well have, 'cause in the pinkies, IF is bigger than Mt. McKinley!

Nonetheless, if the a/s & o/s topped out and stabilized at 6B, and revenue projections were realized, with a spiked P/E of say 40, it'd be possible to see .01, give or take.

As far as management goes, they seem very questionable about their business practices.



That's kinda funny. Would you expect anything better from a pinkie? IMO, mngmt is performing as usual, and maybe even a bit more successful than many. Subway is no small account.

One last question...why do people think this is not a good long term investment?



When a company is obviously growing, there is only one thing that shakes the confidence of s/h's. Raising the a/s. Plain....and simple. Rarely does any company raise it w/o using it. The more times it gets raised, the more often people will call the principles POS. And rightfully so. If they can't keep their spending limited to their revenues after awhile, their managerial skills are definately questionable, and chances are, they're taking larger salaries than they truly deserve. Of course, 98% of company principles could care less. IMO, just 'cause a CEO has landed a deal with a heavyweight like Subway still does not justify an ill-proportioned salary comparative to revenues.

We can only scrutinize the filings, and continually hold the insiders' feet to the fire, pressing the issue of moral responsibility to the very people who financially back them with their often hard earned money.
