$FLO In case you haven't done your homework on the company, there are 2 storylines to pay attention to. First, the company needs to overhaul and upgrade several bakery facilities nationwide. That will take time, which should prompt a more buy-and-hold mindset to enter this stock (not a day-trade or momentum trade here except for a theoretical day they get bought out, which is low probability as of now). 2 year outlook for that to turn the corner - just in the costs of doing the work. The real results of all that new automation (and I predict - significant reduction in bakery employees) means you have 2 years until the costs themselves are toned down, 3-4 years until all the effort starts to really show Margins improvement for personnel efficiencies (all my opinion). Now, the 2nd issue, a rehash if you'd read my prior comments on this. Ukraine accepting a peace deal will significantly change grain market prices, especially wheat, as Russia and Ukraine are 2 of the largest wheat producers.

$FLO big day for food processors. They are all up big time as money rotates out of risky high-tech equites into defensive names such as $HRL and $BRID

$FLO i was a distributor for 20 years and sold out in 2020 when the writing was on the wall. Made tons of money but a little less each year. As I've been saying for years on this board allowing stores to sell unlimited amounts of private label was the death knell, it just took a while.

$FLO They need to start share buy backs and get more control of their share price. Also, start investing in new tech, like the ordering system, and other software programs.

$FLO They need better marketing on their low carb bread products... Like maybe a package with the words "ULTRA LOW CARB LOW CALORIE" in big neon letters. Who the hell knows what KETO is? They are making it to complicated getting too far down in the weeds. That is what the fine print is for.

$FLO it isn't too late to short this bad boy...could easily lose another 50% before all the shouting is over. After all, maybe folks won't have to eat any more.

$FLO Great price range to accumulate shares, especially with Peace Talks getting serious for Ukraine, since Russia and Ukraine are 2 of the top wheat-producing nations, and FLO is arguably one of the most wheat-price sensitive stocks in the entire US Stock Market. And that's not counting costs of Fertilizer (to grow Wheat) that is derived from Oil that will flow more freely once Russia/Ukraine stop fighting (historically, before sanctions, the USA imported 5% of total Oil Demand from Russia). And then there's fuel costs for transporting all of this bread from the bakeries to all the various retail centers/grocery stores. Margins, all about margins improvement, when Russia/Ukraine is resolved. You want to see more data? Look at Wheat Commodity charts going back to February 2022, the month Russia invaded Ukraine. See that spike, then plateau, then a small bit of price relief as shipments were partially resumed from Ukraine? But overall, the price is higher since Feb '22.

$FLO All the flower power and hype won't help until tax loss selling is over...what price will this one be when interest rates are 15 percent? I am thinking it will be lower.

$FLO while i am not afraid to keep holding, because the company is not going anywhere, i would settle for a buy out also, say in the 3 billion range. bumble just did it and i was looking at that earlier, doubled over night. It is a totally different animal but i can dream. that would be about 13 dollars a share or so.

$FLO Bought some Tastycake product today in a grocer where it wasn't sold before, and glad to see the expanding market for that brand. Their product competes against Entemann and Hostess in that store, and they should do well.

$FLO Could there be insider information or just short covering since this is heavily shorted?
