Lou Schizas Coolbrands (A) Sold to Nestle COB.A-T DON'T BUY Dec 02, 2003

Growth has been fed by picking up assets that others didn't want or couldn't hold. Can they continue on this path? Thinks the space has gotten somewhat consolidated. Has been moving sideways.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

DON'T BUY
Would guess that there will not be a recovery for this stock.
DON'T BUY
Need some products that will help drive their sales. Management credibilty is fairly low. Corporate governance has improved, but is still pretty poor.
HOLD
When they did their "Cash Flow on Enterprise Value" valuation, this one went through the roof. Had about $4 million loss in earnings, but about $6 million in write-offs. All that they lost from Weight Watchers will be re-established with other products and other product lines.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan. Has had a lots of warning signals. Very bad corporate governance. Lost their major product, Weight Watchers.
DON'T BUY
Has never owned this one. Not a favourite. Not sure that the long term earnings growth is there. A bit challenged now that they've lost the Weight Watchers brand.
DON'T BUY
One of those companies that never ceases to disappoint. Poor management.
SELL
This one has been a basket case. They know what they need to do, but have been reluctant to do it. There is an asset there so it won't go to zero, but there are better companies out there.
DON'T BUY
Major shareholder is buying more stock, which is an encouraging sign. The moment he sells, get out. Sheer speculation.
COMMENT
Came on tough times over the last couple of years. It seems they are selling off all of their non-core assets at this time to pay down their debt. Is almost now relatively debt free.
TOP PICK
Are buying a company from the founder of Block Buster. They have 60 million in cash and are going to go on an acquisition spree. The company is ok. Have organic growth. This was brilliant.
