Hi,
My name is Krispy Kreme... I offer only one product and I oversaturated the market with it. Now all of my locations compete with one another and I will soon be bankrupt. Moreover, I have negative revenue and I don't make a profit... Will you in...

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts suffered the stigma of being a "fad" (see also HLYS - Heelys). As is often the case, the fad ends, the dust settles, and the company realizes it did some pretty foolish things. Now, it is time to clean up house, closing non-p...

This stock is doing well because the big Krisp finally posted a profit in the 1Q of 2008. I just don't think this can last. These guys overbuilt and overextended themselves. They are heavily in debt and will have to keep getting rid of properties ...
