***** Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries
871 Village Boulevard
West Palm Beach, Florida 33409
(561) 640-9555

Let me put this to you as simply as I can…if you like HAMBURGERS & FRENCH FRIES…you absolutely have to try Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries.

Five Guys is a fast-food chain. The last time I checked, it had 118 units (located predominantly in the northeast USA). Five Guys is planning a “major push” into South Florida, so don’t be shocked to see “one” opening in your neighborhood real soon.

Five Guys makes one of the best fast-food hamburgers that you will ever taste. The same goes for its fries. The same also goes for its hot-dogs. Just so you know, this joint’s menu has burgers, hot-dogs, fries and a grilled cheese sandwich on it “and that’s it.”

I am telling you, that you don’t want to miss this one. For “right now” the only Five Guys in “our” South Florida area is in West Palm Beach. This joint is open 7 days a week, 11am-10pm.

    Bubba Gump is a small “casual dining” chain, which just happens to have a location in the Bayside Marketplace, in Miami (which is located directly across the street from the American Airlines Arena which is the “home” of the Miami Heat). Last night, before the Heat’s SEASON OPENER, (for convenience sake) I had dinner at Bubba Gump.

This is a tourist trap. The food stinks. The service stinks. The food is overpriced.

Stay away.

***** Vivo Participacoes S.A.

Vivo Participacoes is not “some” Brazilian Steak joint in Miami.

If you do some DUE DILIGENCE you will find that VIVO is one of the largest cellular phone companies in Brazil. Its stock is traded on the NYSE under symbol VIV and is currently sitting around $3.53 a share. Your DUE DILIGENCE should also reveal, that VIVO was “created” a year or so ago, by the merger of a number of companies into one entity.

My, and I repeat the word “MY” due diligence, leads me to believe that VIV is ” c h e a p” at $3.53 a share. Just maybe, it takes a little time to get things running “right” after a major merger-consolidation.

Do your own homework.
