Biglari unhappy with SnS actions

(via www.noisefreeinvesting.com)

Many investors (NFI included) are questioning why steak n shake doesn’t immediately halt corporate expansion and funnel the money towards share repurchases. Biglari - one of the few board members at the company that seems to understand return on investment - is fighting an uphill battle.

Special Situation: Steak N Shake a Landslide Victory!

(via streetcapitalist.com)

With the company now trading at about $8 per share there seems to be quite a bit of fear. One of the walls that stood in the way of the company’s value was their stubborn and entrenched management. With Biglari's landslide win, change becomes very possible.
