92% of this company is held by institutions and insiders. While it's not quite ready to take off (there's about 5% short interest that must be covered first), the stock has been quietly accumulated near $5 since early '03. This stock will be "sent" upward in the next few months, and will more than double in price within 18 months. Never bet against the smart money!

I have five basic reasons for really likeing this stock a the moment. First, they have an excellent product. Anyone that has eaten here knows the food is fantastic. Secondly, they are under new leadership. Since the old CEO just landed himself in prison for SEC violations, I'd say this is a very good thing for the company. Third, the new management seems to be making some great decisions that should help increase same store sales (Buca to Go, Buca Lunches, and Buca Light). Fourth, their financials are headed in the right direction. They've had significantly smaller losses over the past few quarters and increased same store sales. I think they're just a couple of quarters from getting this chain back into the black. Lastly, I think the recent sale of the Vinny T's of Boston stores will bring in some much needed cash and allow them to focus on their core business (Buca Di Beppo).
