An investor posted his dilemma on the member’s forum with regards to his position in Chipotle Mexican Grill stock. Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock trades on New York under the symbol CMG.

CMG Stock is not a stock I trade nor follow. While investors definitely loved this stock at one time, it was in my opinion way overvalued. As well I have been to a few of their locations and to me, it was just another restaurant with okay food. I have never found the dining out experience at Chipotle Mexican Grill to be unique among the convenience restaurant industry.

Also I tend not to trade most stocks that are definitely being hyped heavily as Chipotle Mexican Grill stock was, particularly in 2013 to 2014. The stock also does not pay a dividend and fails to meet all my criteria for a stock I trade against.

That said, lots of investors did extremely well trading and investing in Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock. Let’s review his question and see if there are any possible answers.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock Decline

Perhaps Peter is a bit late to the decline in CMG Stock. The stock is already down 47% from October when it was trading for $757.00. Now holding the $400 puts for March expiry, perhaps a rescue is called for but is it too early to put one in place?

CMG Stock decline to Jan 22 2016
