Gents good evening. Step one, it seems, is for each of us to fling out our picks. Then, I guess we'll take the pieces that we like back to our drawing board, formulate the perfect mix of this and that and then mash them together in a buying effort.
The slice of the pie I suggest we bite into is an East Coast powerhouse in their sector. They have a presence in nearly every community from Manchester to Miami and sell products that we all use. The company, however, is in turmoil. Their shares have fallen over 90% this year, lowlighted by a 35% dip in just the last three months. They have over 5,000 locations and 60,000 employees, but they fell below analysts expectations for yet another quarter. I present you, Rite Aid (RAD).
Without going too wild on this forum, I think Rite Aid is a nice little play for even $12.50. That will grab us 50 shares. It's a risky stock, but we can afford to roll the dice for such little cash down. In a perfect world, a major player (CVS, Walgreens, Longs, etc.) scoops up the company, rewards the remaining shareholders with cash or with shares (ie- Countrywide to BAC) and we win. Worst case, we're out a week's worth of coffee money.
Looking forward to the moves you guys want to make and we'll touch the plate this weekend.

This has the potential to be another solid hit to add their line. If we are gonna make a move on ATVI we should do it before end of March (GH Metalica release date).
