Will Jamba Juice (JMBA) be able to stay in business? Their stock has been hammered, can it recover???

Question

Your thoughts?

Disclaimer: I am a shareholder of Jamba and in the red! Is it too risky to double down on my shares at this lower price to reduce my cost basis and hope to recover some in the future?

Answer 1

I think it will. Many people do go there and it opened more stores this year. Preliminary reports look pretty good

the public will know more after the conference call...

Answer 2

It's not going to happen any time soon. I had an appointment in downtown Los Angeles, CA, this last Friday....it was really weird! So many people are out of work that I got to my appointment on time and found parking!!!!! There where half the people on the road/fwy. Scary signs of the times. There are tons of homes for sale in my neighborhood, plus a big ol sign that states "Bank Owned" on a house down my street! I live in a very desirable area (for young working families). A home in our neighborhood (a little under 2yrs ago) sold for $570,000 3bd, 2b (built in 1960). Our economy is hurting sooo bad with prices going up and new homes depreciating, jobs going down the tubes. Jamba juice....well, with the price of fuel, food & utilities ever climbing on a weekly/monthly pace...nope, dosn't have a chance in heck of recovering until the employment rate gets higher, not lower. No jobs, no juice, to expensive. Restaurants in LA county are taking a huge hit, no jobs, no people at lunch break buying lunch = empty restaurants!

Sell well you can, even at a loss. Half the money is still more than "no" money. Good  luck!
