re: Should I sell or hold Chipotle (CMG)

Posted by UltimaParadox on 5/6/24 at 9:33 pm

In my opinion you made a lot of money with CMG, and my personal opinion is the growth story is mostly played out. It is a well run business in a very very difficult sector to do it in. I would reduce my exposure if the taxes etc make sense....

If we are talking about a dealer, telling them you will pay in cash is a huge negative to them as they make money on both ends of the deal. Usually if you talk it out, they will want you to take their financing for X number of days until you pay it off in full to get the lowest possible price....
