Sales per employee is a paltry $41,000, and these guys have not been FCF positive since 2005. Sales and Book Value have both been in decline since 2007, and the company carries $500 million in debt (more than two times TTM Revenue). It's hard to find anything to like with this one.

MHGC has an illiquid balance sheet and a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making at least until 2011. It may go bankrupt.

Huge debt. Little bit of cash. Just released a stupid 'Who do you want to be?' advertising campaign. I want to be a person sleeping in a reasonably priced and sensibly furnished hotel room. Lost $20 mil last year.

Large ownership interest by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs perk my interest.

Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas, other boutique hotels around the country. IPO'd recently. Wynn IPO'd at under 20 and hit 100. If nothing else, a pure property play.

Stock is a just starting to break a profit, so the P/E is not really a good indicator of value on this one. Rather, the growth trend is looking favorable. I also like the insider buying by the CEO (Mr. Scheetz). He has a record of successful insider purchases, including his transactions with NorthsStar Realty Finance (see WSJ article on regarding his favorable insider buying history dated 5/16/07).
