Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice ! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website. Seeing as I didn't have any stocks to review in my "Weekend Review", it seemed reasonable to take another 'long-term view' on this blog.

The last we left Krispy Kreme(kkd) several months ago, its shares had been goosed after Prudential's Howard Penney recommended the stock with an advanced price target even though the company hadn't filed numbers with the SEC in well over a year. Those numbers have since been filed and its stock is close to making a complete round-trip to where it was before the hypey runup.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE: KKD) reported results for the second quarter on Thursday after the bell. I haven't been a huge fan of this company, but I will concede that some of the data in the release is interesting. Maybe even encouraging.

The same-store sales went up 5.9% -- they were terrible last year at this time. Same-store sales are, as we all know, a very key metric for a business like Krispy Kreme. And the performance served as a positive counterargument to the 12% decrease in the top line.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE:KKD) for the quarter ended Aug. 2 reported a loss of $157,000, compared with a year-earlier loss of $1.9 million, or three cents a share.  Krispy managed to report an operating profit of $2.9 million, compared with a prior-year loss of $1 million.  Hard to believe but Krispy Kreme finally had its first annual operating profit in five years.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts' (NYSE: KKD) stock has had a nice run of late. It's doubled so far on the year-to-date frame. Is there something to this story? Before, there was nothing. Krispy Kreme has been a very troubled business, and it would be very difficult to convince me otherwise. But, have things changed?
