terrific first quarter, outperformed their sector, debt to be restructured...77cents a few weeks ago...$4.74 as a high today....this company is becoming very lean and will exit this poor business climate in better shape than any other public group

Too much debt, stock price rose too far too fast. I don't think car sales are going to spike any time soon.

My prediction is that SAH will have better than expected earnings after the earnings call end of October and the stock price will rebound to $14-$15. I wish my funds weren't tied up or I'd buy atleast 1000 shares.

A triumph of good luck in timing--I've been bullish on it since the price was in the mid-20s.
