While i am sure that you could hold it for a good period of time and see no loss, there is only a certain % of gain that it can make. I would assume that once released within the first week it will be trading at 2-2.5x the ipo. There is a good chunk of change made. after that, it will not double again unless they announce some amazing news like they bought google. It is going to be somehting quite similar to the Coach IPO. It will double within a week if not sooner, then hover around there. Timmy Ho’s is doing this to raise capital to expand and grow their market share, and also to give WEN a chance to have a more focused future, and revitalize their brand. WEN is the #3 FF in america falling behind #1 MCD, and #2 BK. They want to take back a larger portion of the market, and spinning of ho’s is affording that opportunity. So I would watch WEN also.
My take on timmy… Purchase as much as quick as you can, then downgrade to HOLD. And hold for a few months while the management sitts around and figures out where their growth is going to be, and how much of it there will be. Once they announce that, the stock will fluctuate based on the markets they are looking to invest in.
