Aramark, the company that handles the food concessions at 14 different major league stadiums (and a lot of prisons too), is seeing its stock soar on the reports that its CEO, Joseph Neubauer, is attempting a leveraged buyout of the company. Aramark is presently valued at $5.94 billion and the buyout group is arranging around $6.25 billion in debt financing.

If you had bought Aramark on Friday and sold today, you could have made a killing. Guess that's why insider trading is illegal.

28.90 on Friday
33.90 on Monday

It's at 33.63 presently.

Apparently Aramark is trying to control the sale of stock by making everyone stand in a really long line to get it.

"You want 3,000 shares. Hmmm.. OK, that's [fiddles with register] $99,000. Out of $100,000? Hold on. Do you want toppings on that? Bonds and debentures are to the right."

Aramark did the food for my college campus. It was awful, awful, awful -- we used to walk up to Scripps just to get stuff that was remotely edible.

They do everything from high-end catering to prison food:

We used to joke about how we were on the Prison Plan.
