But at least the stock market is at high.

Seriously, I think the economy is in trouble. Any thoughts?

Millennials are broke af and can’t afford constant dining.

Applebee’s targeting a broke ass demographic was stupid move in the first place.

My generations has no concept of saving, and will spend money on the most useless s~~~.

Yet, millennials won’t spend $20 for a date for FOOD. Go figure…

Stupid CEO and stupid millennials.

I always support good local and independent restaurants over food chains.

Ethnic restaurants in less up scale neighborhoods in particular have delicious menus for 1/2 or even 1/3 of the cost the food chains offer.

I think the economy is “living on borrowed time” .

The stock Market WILL take a heavy dip, it’s Not a matter of if just when. As usual, the power brokers of the world will continue to manipulate it to ever higher and higher levels while the lil guy continues to buy on the high.

When the time is right, the Powerful will get together and begin to dump large amounts of shares, and running with the profits. This will trigger many many more automatic sells on the way down leaving the little guy holding the bag, and probably selling out in frustration on the low locking in his losses.

How many times can they play this game and continue to get away with it ?

The “Investors” just keep lining up . ????

I went to an Applebee’s a couple of months ago and swore I would never return. The quality of food was poor while the atmosphere was that of a dive bar. I would rather eat Subway than go to Applebee’s. I think they are poorly managed. They can try and come up with excuses but management is the culprit here.

a. they should have had better food.
b. they shouldn’t have been stingy with the french fries.

The chain aimed to lure “a more youthful and affluent demographic with a more independent or even sophisticated dining mindset, including a clear pendulum swing towards millennials.”

S~~~ting on GenX yet again doesn’t seem like such a good idea now, does it? America invested in the wrong generation. Society never cared about us because we were a small, directionless generation, opting instead to entice the Millennials. Glad to see how well that’s working out.

I think you three different conversations here:

1. Applebee’s are going under because their food sucks, the menu is tired, and because chain restaurants like them go in and out of favor. It’s just their turn.

2. The stock market is overvalued. It is way past due for a big correction. What has been propping up the market for a couple years now are companies borrowing money for free and using it to buy back their own stock. This keeps the earnings per share high because the number of shares keeps dropping. Therefore, earnings can be flat but the earnings PER SHARE goes up because the number of shares drops.

3. I agree that the economy is in trouble. People don’t act like it. It’s like they completely forgot what happened 10 years ago.

Applebees has sucked for years. I stay away from that place. They served my dad a raw meat steak their once that they threw in the microwave. It was like cutting a rubber boot with a knife.

Guess with everyone going their own way, the 2 for $20 deal went on a steep decline in recent years lol.

F~~~ eating out and blowing money! Propane is way cheaper!

Instead of the fancy decor they put in them they should have invested in quality food and employees! I like Texas Roadhouse or Cracker Barrel as far as big chains go. I eat at independent places in town. Good food prices and service. It’s nicer when they know you.

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9547]

I haven’t been to an Applebee’s in a long time, and when I did, I got a juicy cheese burger, fries and an Oreo shake. Yum-yum! The only Applebee’s I know of where I’m from was turned into a Chick-Fil-A, which I also never been to before.

When it comes to a chain of restaurants, I prefer Red Lobster during the all you can eat Shrimp Fest, which is coming up and just in time for my 35th birthday.

The “economy” is strong. But, I am having trouble believing some of the corporate earnings reports. That said, last time I ate at Applebee’s it was horrible!

Good business practices lead to success. Not something we see very often.

So i should forget about investing in a mutual fund or pension?

Disgusting chain food. Denny’s is better. Seriously. I hope they ALL go out of business…
