User Image drsiavashDCMS Posted - 2 months ago

$LOCO can't fathom that this stock is priced this high. I sold out all mine in mid 11's :( but these locations are always empty and disgusting and employees are so rude. I bought in mid 8s and I was satisfied with some gains but really $14-15 for mediocre food and disgusting locations and rude employees. never thought that will be possible!! this should be trading under $8

User Image drsiavashDCMS Posted - 2 months ago

$LOCO so surprised this is even holding at these levels. LOCO chicken prices are too high plus all of their restaurants are so dirty and disgusting. To see this at these levels already baffling. $8 sounds more right.
