Paywalled small cap restaurant chain that could 10x to 30x over the next 15 to 20 years.
There’s a reason Peter Lynch liked restaurants.
Hello and welcome to a paywalled small cap stock idea. Initially I was writing one paywalled small cap a week, sometimes I remembered to put my best ideas behind the paywall, sometimes I forgot. Forward Air (FWRD) and Burford Capital (BUR) were probably good enough for a paywall, but hey, I was new at this. Sometimes, the paywalled small cap idea was just mediocre, and I forced it anyway just to try and grow my paid subscriber base. Vital Energy (VTLE) didn’t deserve the paywall, and you have my apologies for it. Conn’s was genuinely a mistake, it had real potential until it went bust.
I think I am going to shift strategy a bit, and if there is a week where I don’t find an idea good enough, I won’t put a company behind a paywall that week. Better to forego my cash conversion attempt than to put something mediocre behind the paywall and disappoint a new paid customer.
But today I have a real gem, something I want to own for the next twenty years, unless management chooses to screw up a winning formula, or private equity pulls it from my quivering mouth like a teat from a suckling babe.
