My Strategy
I continually scan the markets for companies that are both improving their fundamentals and increasing their share price. And as I research the markets for these kinds of companies, I'm finding fewer and fewer that fit these conditions. One exception is RCI Hospitality Holdings.
I own shares in this company and I have been a proponent of owning these shares primarily based upon an eventual expansion of their Bombshells Restaurants. For some time I've been buying shares anywhere above $16 per share and below $18 per share. It's now moved beyond that level which pains me but I still see this company as a winner going forward. Therefore, regretfully I'll continue to buy shares but I really wish it was still below $18. Unfortunately investors are starting to understand the story here and obviously they are pushing the shares higher. I believe shares of RCI Hospitality could easily move higher than $40 per share once the rollout begins.
