I had the choice tonight. Eat at Mirko’s, and sit at the bar (hope someone cute and alone might decide to do the same) and enjoy somewhat authentic, but mostly Americanized Italian food, or go next door, just two doors down to CMG for dinner.
Since I was shot, exhausted, and a nice Italian beer sounded nice, I went with Mirko’s. Sorry CMG.
Duma, over on the New Paradigm board, has a philosophy that once a company misses, they miss multiple times. And from past experience, although I lose discipline, I am finding that companies can make a comeback, don’t misjudge that. But the only time to buy is when they are really cheap and out.
Starbucks and McDonalds are two examples of it. Of course make sure you are not buying into a Sears.
We should take high low as to how long until Sears heads for bankruptcy protection.
CMG is not a Starbucks, nor a McDonalds as it comes to branding. It just never reached that point. Companies like CMG who have nevertheless had great success, suffered a “Tylenol” issue, usually do make some sort of comeback. But so far that comebacks is not really manifesting itself.
Mirko’s was delicious. I did end up talking to a nice lady. Married, 10 years older than me. But no worries, am in Atlanta and have a date for Super Bowl Sunday. Historical circumstances there. No, I won’t take her to CMG, but maybe to Mirko’s at some point.
