The end of 1986 saw a lot of downward pressure on the stock market as investors sold to take advantage of longÂŹ term capital gains and to reposition to accommodate the new tax reform.
With selling pressures behind us, the first part of 1987 has started up with the Dow closing over 2000 for the first time ever. As a result, many stocks have reached new highs or have come off the bottom of their established trading ranges.

SugarloafOnTheRebound
For years, Sugarloaf USA has been one of Maines premiere ski resorts and year-round tourist destinations. Sugarloaf grew with some very aggressive expansion efforts, but it was also this same aggressiveness that led to someofitsfinancialdifficulties.
On March 23, 1986, Sugarloaf Mountain Corp, filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11.1 o remain financially viable, according to Bob Turner, Chief F inancial Officer of Sugarloaf, the company sold two real estate projects still under development to the Dartmouth Corp, for $2 million. In addition, they were successful in securing a working capital loan for $2.5 million guaranteed by nine individuals.
Sugarloaf then restructured its management team. Warren Cook, formerly on the Board, was brought in as president, and Jerry Muth, formerly with Vail & Cooper Mountain in Colorado, was hired as executive vice presiÂŹ dent and general manager. Mr. Muth has also acted on a consultant basis for a number of Western ski areas, includÂŹ ing Steamboat. Jerry Muth, according to I urner, brings with him over 25 years of ski business experience. With working capital and new management in place, the comÂŹ pany has begun to upgrade its facilities to attract more people. One key investment was a $1.7 million expansion to Sugarloafâs snow-making facilities.
In last monthâs issue, Guilford Industries was listed as a Maine-based company. Since the writing of that article the company agreed to be acquired by Debron, USA, a British company and a subsidiary of Interface flooring systems. The merger took place for $17.25 per share.
Wheredowegofromhere?
I have been asked by many investors how much further can the stock market go? The classical bull markets throughout history often display a three-legged pattern, distinguished by three major moves upward interrupted by two intermediate, downside corrections.
According to Ray Worsedk, Vice President, Economist, and Manager of Economic Research with A. G. Edwards, âAs reflected in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the stock market has shown a remarkable similarity of rhythm with the 1920s bull market. Once we see a second correcÂŹ tion, a possible third leg of this classic pattern lies ahead. Market trends tend to last much longer than most people believe is possible. The risk isnât getting out of the market too late. 1 he real disappointment is in getting out too soon."

LUNA DâORO
By George Benington
Restaurant Row, in case you are not yet familiar with the moniker, is on Middle Street across from Jordanâs Meats (a nice counterpoint), and is composed of Cafe Always, Hamiltonâs, and its most recent addition, Luna D'oro. Nowhere else in Portland is so much culinary diversity packed into so few square feet. Most of the diversity results from adventurous crossings of traditional boundaries â chefs coming from unique backgrounds, often different from the style of their respective restaurants. In this case, Chef Alain of Luna Dâoro is French.
Luna Dâoro is a romantic little place, with seats for 25 or 30 in one L-shaped and another tiny room. Each table has an appealingly cliched Chianti bottle candle dripping with wax. Even when the place is full, it is very private and cozy.
The night we went, the whole mood and spirit of the place was much in line with our own. The service was unfortuÂŹ nate. Our waiter, after having dismissed his colleagues, was alone in a full house. Too, the chef was apparently disÂŹ tracted that evening: We ordered one entree and were served another in its place. The menu is broad and interestÂŹ ing with a distinctly Northern Italian selection and features some amusing ideas about letter capitalization. The wine list has a much more interesting selection of Italian wines than most Maine Italian restaurants. The baked snails in garlic butter were served in the shell and had a hint of Sambuca. The garlic bread was good. The entrees are a standard selection of linguine, fettuccine, pesto, Alfredo, several preparations of veal, chicken, calamari, and shrimp. Each Specialita is served with a side of Fettucine Alfredo. We managed to convince our waiter to serve one of ours with Linguine al pesto. The pesto seemed fresh, but had rather imperfect balance: a bit too basily. It was, however, better than one finds in most New England restaurants. We'll never know what the chicken Piccata was like because, although we ordered it, we were served the chicken with shallots, artichokes, mushrooms, and red wine. It was good, tender, but it suffered from an excess of oil and butter in which it floated: a flaw several of the entrees shared. The Veal Saltimbocca was probably the best item we tried, and was certainly better than any other I have had in Portland. The veal was fresh, tender, it was served with whole sage leaves and fairly high quality prosciutto. Again, it swam too much in oil. The salad was wonderful except that we had to ask for it after we finished our entrees (a practice actually preferred in most Continental restaurants but not intended here). The greens were tart and had zing and the dressing was a house vinaigrette.
Luna Dâoro is charming in some ways because of its innocence, its atmosphere, and the manner in which the food is prepared and presented. Other Portland and Maine Italian restaurants are more static, as if they feel their reputations are secureâno need to experiment. Luna Dâoro is certainly worth a try.
