Summary: In this episode, Tracey is joined by Eric Dutram, Zacks ETF strategist. Even though Eric’s forte is in ETFs, he has another, secret expertise, that being the burger chains. With the gourmet burger restaurants exploding in popularity around the country, Tracey and Eric have been going to these chains to sample their burgers to see if they’re worth their high stock valuations. There’s nothing like trying out the product to see how good it really is. Several of the chains are still private, such as In-and-Out Burger and Smashburger. Stock investors will have to remain on the sidelines with those two chains. But other favorites, such as Shake Shack (#SHAK), Habit (#HABT), and Red Robin Gourmet Burger (#RRGB) are publicly traded. Shake Shack and Habit both recently went IPO to a lot of buzz and hype. Investors can now own some of their favorite burger chains. But should they be buying these stocks? Tracey and Eric discuss the fundamentals of each company. Where is the growth going to come from? What do earnings look like going forward? What kind of competition do they face? And, most importantly of all, how good are their burgers? Are the burger stocks simply just a fad that will fade? Listen to find out.
