INVESTOR (INDIVIDUAL) SEEKS STOCK (QUALITY)
FOR LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP
Richard Pollard asks in the CHS forum: "Has everyone given up on Chico's? Perhaps it is time to get back into it?"
Well, is it?
Keith Hoile looks for consensus in the KNX forum: "Unfortunately, trucking stocks are not well respected now and many of the analysts on the Street focus more on the big trucking companies like YRC Worldwide, JB Hunt, Swift, etc. I think it is a quality company with a positive long term outlook."
Do you agree?
