I should have unloaded here. This could easily fall back to $20s from here. Might revisit if it does. Buyers dry up fast at highs. Who wants to buys highs, with a couple dollars of upside?

Yeah, kick myself too.... sold half to get some vaca money.. That's gone and now Chef is pushing $40. pps

$CHEF

Should have never sold $CHEF. This is a gem you lock up, and hold for years. Ugh...

This could be $80 in a couple years.

They are smart. Might just park a bunch here while this market eats pain. Dip for me!!! Or make me grab $37s!

Idc. This is a safe play during this downturn.

They just keep growing.

The new purchase.

Last time RSI hit this was around 19 pps!

Eat! We always eat! We eat very good with $CHEF!

Debt to asset, and liquidity still looking ok here, even after a year of China flu.

When life opens fully in a couple months... This could really run hard, even from $35-$40.

Market is about to see unheard of injection of capital. This, on top of healthy numbers that shrugged China flu, and this could get pretty crazy!


The market will most likely spike incredibly hard to the upside, and bring new highs all over.

2021 will be the ying to 2020s yang!

Smart money is getting in hard NOW before the checks fly, and buy and hold money floods the market.

Small float will make this explosive!


Could see spikes to $70+ here.

Supply chain is everything, as 2020 proved the importance.


Food. Housing.

Looking good here time test $40 ?

Cheers.....happy new yr

Great find my friend. Thanks

Trump rejected the "COVID" relief. He speaks on restaurants needing more. A good listen.


Trump speech starts around 2 minutes in.

Looks like the business meal tax break is included in the new stimulus deal, and will last two years. This is a huge incentive that will help restaurants greatly.


Totaling tax breaks — The legislation allows businesses to deduct expenses associated with their forgiven PPP loans, in addition to expanding the employee retention credit intended to prevent layoffs. It includes a two-year tax break for business meals — a priority for President Donald Trump — and rolls over a variety of temporary tax breaks known as “extenders,” some for multiple years. The package also extends a payroll tax subsidy for employers offering workers paid sick leave and boosts the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Trump talks deductibility at 2:25. I THINK that's what is what they are talking in the new stimulus.




Vaccines rolling out, incentives to super charge restaurants traffic, a couple months to get things open, and numbers should start getting back to normal and better.

Strong liquidity held through the pandemic shows this company could really do some growing in the future.

Looking very good!

Loving how the chart moves !!!!!!!slow and steady $$$$$

Yes sir, we’ve both been here through the highs and lows$$$$$

Still have solid core position... Tucked this away back in March/April and left it.

Cheers

MAN.. remember those days of $8 and $10 pps

$CHEF

Agreed my friend, happy thanksgiving and GLTU as well

Well done! This bronco has shook many after huge gains from under $10. I feel like $CHEF could hit around $50 with some healthy people, doing healthy things, and a bit of momo.

Still holding strong..... plenty of room to grow $$$$$$$$$

With the vaccine from Pfizer, and more to come, I'll take more pain as a buying opportunity.
