I must say, I laughed my ass off when the waiter @ a Burger Fuel asked me whether I wanted to buy shares, in all seriousness…

Christ, just give me my freakin burger :)

I’m with Matt. i mean, hey i missed out in getting McD’s shares, so this is a good chance to get in on a ‘speculative’ food opportunity. and its only $1k. not like we are going to retire on it. what else would i spend it on, probably more bits for my mountainbike. at the end of the day this is just my fortnights spending money, its not the house money, and i didn’t borrow to invest. I think what these articles need to explore is that it is a speculative invetsment, but that it is not one to get into hock for – hell its a brave man who borrows aginst the roof over his head to invest, and a stupid man who uses a credit card to invest in something like this.

Time for shares?

There are a thousand negatives about investing in Burger Fuel. Here they are, inflating the price of their company to raise fund by selling overpriced shares to go global. Fisrt Australia, an industry/country that many New Zealand companies have stuggled to crack. But they have some pretty decent things going for them, a good team, experienced execs, attitude, drive and ultimatly a damn good burger.

So about that high risk investment, im a gambling man, put me down for 2000 shares. Five years time, if theres nothing left, i can say i tried. You never know, they might just crack it…

Oporto is nothing like a ‘gourmet burger’ and I wouldn’t put them in the same market, they are something more than Burger King and a lot less than Burger Fuel/GBK/Wisconsin. In saying that however there are definitely gourmet burger chains in Australia and in fact a friend of mine set up Melbourne’s first gourmet burger joint years ago. It is a style of food that has definitely taken off and they are no longer unique from a food standpoint. In my mind Burger Fuel has the same thing going for it that 42 Below and Hell do – Marketing. Apart from that there is nothing to set them apart.
