Intresting, Much more for less, Just as Shapiro had planned

I was going to say I was surprised the stock dropped after the news from a high of 6.75 but then I noticed everything dropped.  Something else must have upset the market today.

This is VERY good news.  Hopefully this would indicate his plan is getting traction.  And this was accomplished with rather horrible weather this spring for many of the key markets.

it may pop a little tomorrow
But yes its a good sign and the weather has been good the last few weeks and lets hope it stays nice.

The Market dropped from the speaking of fed chairman Ben Bernanke  outlooks on the economy and cautions at a little inflation
so the market dropped actually 2 days in a row.

Also Gasoline inventory was up so gas dropped a little and expect to see gas to drop 15 to 20 cents by 4th of July. (lets hope even more)

Nice realistic take on the whole thing - http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2007/06/07/the-glass-is-20-full.aspx

Looks like investors are still scared off and are waiting for the crop of the season to hit.  The fact that they are making these accomplishments on fewer operating days than last year is simply amazing.

Another interesting article... Apparantly, Six Flags America was the highest attended park in the Six Flags chain over memorial weekend.  How in the world it beat Gadv with the Wiggles concert is beyond me!  http://www.washingtontimes.com/business/20070603-101311-2845r.htm
