Today we bought Brinker International (EAT) at $30.00 a share at 12:57 PM EDT in our Real Time Alerts. Hedgeye Restaurants Sector Head Howard Penney is saying that the conference call confusion is why the stock is getting hammered, so Keith bought it in the Real Time Alerts on red. Pretty straightforward as the EAT hold's its long-term TAIL line of 29.11 support.
