RBD - The Loser's Stock

[Liberty]

Someone had to do it.

What? In the hope that RBD would turn around like GPG did after some idiot started a thread with the same sentiment?

Everything have their value. It is a mater of what price it is of value. All RBD needs is a few good people with vision to trun it around. RBD will have its day, but not today.

It aint a losers company. There are plenty of others ,that are more widely discussed here that fit that category.

RBD has huge potential but present management continue to firk with it to such an extent that it may take a "rescue" before things are done right.

Methinks things will get worse before they get better.

Holding my breath, Bongo

THE KING says RBD from day one was over priced when the yanks first sold out some years later the price probley is around where it should be after comming of a much lower base but its the bolt on Co`s it has bought it should get out of AUS for starters and Starbucks realy needs to be looked at, P/house are not the real way to go, not much left but KFC a constant worker and makes money people will not stop eating.

So its realy the board that need the make over and a new steering rudder other than the fore mention its a GOOd company.

Watching from Paraparaumu in pain the new computer blew up. THE KING

I was brave enuff (foolish enuff?) to buy some late last year with ideas of flogging them off after their price had recovered the dividend.
The more I read about them the more twitchy I became. e.g. rumours that they will need to borrow to maintain their diviodend payout and if they don't maintain their amzing gross dividend yield then the price is in for a spectacular collapse.
Continuing reports of promotions that fail, falling sales in some major sectors and barely rising sales in others, plus they're a cert to be targetted in the healthy food campaign - I got out so I could get a good night's sleep.
You hardy souls who remain must have a contitution like an ox and a liking for masochism. And the price has even risen a little...talk about born optimists.

I was appalled at some of the mismanagement stories about RBD that appeared on another thread. Now I've just dug up a month-old newspaper report about KFC's mashed potato stuff-up which would be hilarious if it wasn't so bad.

Vicki Salmon told the annual meeting about how they had overestimated customers' appetite. "The mashies promotion last Easter, while giving KFC one of the highest volume sales weeks in RB's history, also gave us a problem," she said. "They were so successful that we ran out of supply and then subsequently ordered too much. We had to take quick action to move the surplus stock, leading to a reduction in KFC's margin."
An investigation into the mashies incident discovered the marketing and operations teams weren't working closely enough to identify the mistakes, Salmon said.

:D but not if you're a shareholder :(
