Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Chuck Carlson]

  Shares of this restaurant chain have risen 51% since I recommended it last August and I think another 50% move may be ahead if the economy gets a little healthier. 
  This is another retail business model with ample fixed costs, and plenty of operating leverage. Per-share profits are rising at a fast clip and could exceed $0.40 this year. In an improving economy where time-stressed consumers are more likely to dine out, I think earnings power could approach $0.60 or $0.70 a share, which would likely push this $4 stock above the $6 mark.
