CRACKER BARREL WAITINGLIST CRACKER
My mother does not travel very much anymore, but she still likes Cracker Barrel enough that she regularly patronizes her nearest Old Country Store for lunch. It is not high class food, but it is pretty good. That is pervasiveness we rarely have to drive more than 30 miles after punching it into the Garmin. As a matter of fact, 2 or 3 of the top 6 or 7 closest eateries on the list are often Cracker Barrel. Almost invariably, if we are on an interstate highway and punch the food button on the GPS the name at the top of the list is Cracker Barrel. But, I digress, so let's get back to CBRL.Īs my wife and I travel around the southeast enjoying the freedom provided by these low gas prices, from time to time we find ourselves on the road, and between destinations, at meal time. Being an optimist, I choose to enjoy the low gas prices and wait patiently for my energy stocks to continue to reinvest dividends and eventually come roaring back. Sometimes I do not know whether to cheer for these low fuel prices or cry over the dropping stock prices in Exxon Mobil, Conoco Phillips ( COP ), Chevron ( CVX ), and various other energy and infrastructure positions. My last 3 fill-ups, I paid $1.69 at Exxon ( XOM) in South Carolina, $1.75 at Exxon in South Carolina, and $1.69 at Pilot in Tennessee. Such travel has become considerably easier recently due to very low gasoline prices. This is an investment that has been right in front of my face pretty frequently lately as I have been spending considerable time traveling interstate highways around the southeastern United States. Today, I want to talk about Cracker Barrel Old Country Store ( NASDAQ: CBRL). If you read my article on Electrolux ( OTCPK:ELUXY) a few months ago, you also know that I sometimes get inspired to study a potential investment through various everyday circumstances in my life. (Long term, I believe the bulls always win, but that is for another discussion.) As a side benefit, my investing philosophy also serves me pretty well in the capital gains department. I may give up a little in capital gains during times when the bulls run rampant, but I plan to have a source of steady income paying me day in and day out even when the bears temporarily have the bulls on the run. I am building a dividend growth and income portfolio designed to pay me in good and bad times.
CRACKER BARREL WAITINGLIST SERIES
If you read my complete series on my forced early retirement, you will also know a lot about my situation. So if you are a regular reader of mine you can just skim on down to the second paragraph because you already know I am a dividend growth, dividend income kind of guy at heart. I hate to repeat myself for those of you who are my regular readers, but for those who may be new I need to spend just a minute on my investing background.
