    Fast food restaurants such as $QSR, $WEN, $YUM, $DRI, $DPZ, $MCD may be facing headwinds in addition to forced $20 wages for burger flippers in states such as CA, IL, and NY.

    Some sad news from one of the country's most successful burger chains:

  • marklesparkle: @AndStars $QSR $WEN $YUM $DRI $DPZ $MCD #FastFood Yes a shame Oakland is designated now as the most dangerous city in Ca.
  • metal: @AndStars $QSR $WEN $YUM $DRI $DPZ $MCD #FastFood This is what happens when governments start out with an outcome based on some fantasy and try to make reality compliant. They thumb their noses at natural law and try to give us more of what does not work when it all comes crashing down. People have seared their consciences to the truth.
  • champ: $WING $DRI......$CMG $MCD $YUM....and others...certain restaurant chains are working, in this sector.

    $YUM: Cowen raised the stock to Outperform from Market Perform and lifted the target price to $143 from $134. The consensus target is $142.30.

    With the potential for a sizable correction looming and interest rates soon headed higher, it might be a ...
  • champ: Day-Traders are chasing everything...and thats the risk that is currently going on Now for #them, the chasers....however these chasers will continue chasing...these stocks will or should continue to zig-zag higher, however the #zags will be really noticeable because many are running around with their Hair on Firer.... ....with In and Outs...and back-Ins....and now the planning continues, holding full...and only watching..... ....there are add-on targets everywhere... ....however I'm not going to swing these stocks, that I have been posting about....$CMG, $YUM, $MCD or $DRI...

  • tartan: I forgot I also bot $YUM on Monday LOL How could I forget that one
  • tartan: I have skin already in $GOOG, $PAYX and $QRVO I will start out watching these charts, and hopefully will not get too sidetracked as the week progresses But stranger things have happened $PAYX has earnings so that could get confusing on what to do Monday afternoon $AEIS $ALTR $ECL $FIVE $FND $FTV $GRBK $JCOM $MNST $MSCI $PFSI $ROK $XPO $YETI $YUM

  • teacher5: $YUM squeezing on the daily. Anybody holding or entering? Small position.
  • teacher5: $YUM @bRobert Your thoughts? Looks like a squeeze to me.
  • bRobert: @teacher5 $YUM Still consolidating May take a while until it is ready $135 potential long term Prefer $CBRL $DIN others
  • scottrades: @teacher5 $YUM Yep, I agree! It's a little far from support but it could work if the market pushes up. You'd want it to close above 95 at EOD.
  • teacher5: @scottrades $YUM Thanks!
  • teacher5: @Scottrades Thanks for your excellent teaching on long bases and trend direction in your last video. I’m looking at charts entirely differently now, thanks to your great explanations. Could you please take a look at $YUM? It appears to be coming out of a squeeze. Thanks.
  • Yuls: $YUM breaking out
  • Yuls: $YUM BO, $JACK moving $CHGG trying to curl up
  • bigbartabs: @Yuls $YUM $JACK $CHGG ... I'll get even more excited when I see $JACK and $COKE going up together... making new highs. $YUM !

  • Spearchucker53: $YUM Yum brands is printing higher highs and higher lows and has regained the 50MA. The local KFC manager told me his sales were 40% higher than same month last year. Lots of reluctance in institutional investors due to high debt load etc. What do you guys think?
  • himma: @Gary $DIN,$YUM
  • himma: @Dan $YUM,DIN
  • himma: @Dan$DIN,$YUM...long?
  • DAN: @himma $DIN $YUM I wouldn't be long here, himma. They're still under a ceiling of supply.
  • DAN: @himma $YUM $YUMC -- I think it's early to be in either stock.
  • drmike54: @woodman $PZZA $DPZ $YUM = Pizza for non-Italians.........

  • Bridget: $YUM is close to breaking out of this squeeze
  • Sher: $MCD, $YUM - Initiated new October call positions in both; $MCD - 8-day MA holding as support and back above VWAP; $YUM - Squeeze tightening with BB Band width < 3%.
  • DAN: ...
    $YUM -- too high for an entry here. Draw the box!
    $ARNC -- Watch this one. Needs to tighten up and consolidate for a while. Will probably take a week or two to be buyable.
    $ARWR - -Phase 2 of squeeze sequence.
    $PINS -- support at $35 now. This i ...
  • himma: $yum,$twtr...loooong w trailing stops
  • grcjr: $YUM yum
  • himma: $YUM sold half before earnings and now its up 6+ points..regret..AH
  • grcjr: @himma $YUM - taking profits into earnings (or just reducing exposure) is prudent. You can always buy it back. I added some back this morning.
  • gwenzee: @himma Please place $ before symbol...$YUM
  • himma: $yum sold half, went all time hi where is the next buy?
  • Bridget: @himma $yum I would wait till after earnings.
  • grcjr: $YUM - several times I have been close to finding the exit as it drifts around/down/across for a week or more. Boring. And then there are days like today. Been long for a few weeks. Still long.
  • Bridget: @grcjr $YUM well done! Wish I had held on longer.
  • grcjr: $YUM $MCD nice moves today, both new ATH.
  • Bridget: $YUM great uptrend and has consolidated while waiting for the 21dMA to catch up. I think you can enter here or wait for the 30dMA.
  • Mitchell: ...
    $YUM - the stock had a nice rally from $100 to $110, but momentum is now stalling out as it comes back into the Bollinger Bands and RSI moves below 70. Look for a retest of the $104 breakout level in the next couple of weeks.
  • DAN: $CMG -- this has been weak BEFORE the Mexico tariff. Sliding further now. No reason it can't test the 200-day moving average before it finds any support. The restaurant group is pretty weak. The stocks to be in are $WING (a growth stock), and $YUM (Not $YUMC (china)). The others...meh.
  • Bridget: $MCD $SHAK $WING $YUM all looking very strong today
  • Mitchell: ...
    $YUM - shares are extended above the 200-day SMA, but the stock held up in the face of recent volatility (near-term support at $99)

    There were some major break downs in the certain sectors and stocks this week despite the move off of Monday's low i ...
  • debeers: $BA-The worst possible news for Boeing: if Boeing knew about the flaws a year ago or more, as the WSJ reports this morning, since it failed to disclose, their insurers could have standing to claim that they have no intentions of paying any claims. At the very worst a claim could be made and maybe even upheld that Boeing was guilty of criminally intentional homicide. In every conference Muhlenberg gave, he insisted safety was paramount in the Boeing culture.NP $YUM-100% of its biz is China. You don't want to be here now, either. Semis-Particularly $NVDA/$QCOM-NOPE $AAPL-Turns out the battery life promised isn't the battery life delivered. Should take a nick but not a fatal cut.
  • rah: @debeers $BA $YUM $NVDA $QCOM $AAPL - Hi debeers. I believe you meant $YUMC vs $YUM.
  • debeers: @rah $BA $YUM $NVDA $QCOM $AAPL $YUMC ---Yup. You are right. $YUMC
  • phgruver: @shoredriver @CraigReynolds $KHC ...KFC=$YUM Fast food does have some interesting dynamics. $MCD is doing well, and Burger King, part of $QSR, looks good as well.
  • debeers: $YUM-not so yummy today---miss.NP
  • Henry: $YUM is bouncing and my TOS order is just sitting there
  • Gary: ...
    15. $YUM – I would sell this. Gap to new high and a reversal. Sell into strength.
    16. $CNC – Time to sell this b/c it’s at resistance. You can’t buy here b/c it’s too volatile and choppy. Where is support? Who knows?
    ...
  • beld: $ADSK $YUM bought a little ADSK with a stop buy. Wondering if YUM prices represented a double bottom and/or will the price have to go to thru previous resistance to complete the pattern. Thanks!
  • DAN: @traderbren $TLRY The little girl who holds the record for the highest Girl Scout cookie sales (or maybe it's "people scout" these days) did it by putting up a stand outside the local pot dispensary. (I think that was up in Oakland, but I'm not certain). Personally, I think $YUM and $TWNK would do very well with that business model.
  • bRobert: @DAN $TLRY $YUM $TWNK She was brought up on charges. Aiding and abetting the munchies. She did win a green merit badge.
  • traderbren: @DAN $TLRY $YUM $TWNK - LOL, so true. I think we will see a lot more deals in this space, a la $STZ & $CGC. We talking "infused" into anything & everything you can either eat and/or drink. Imagine what could happen with the likes of $MCD or $CMG. ;-)
  • traderbren: @bRobert $TLRY $YUM $TWNK - LOL, good one!
  • Gary: ...
    16. $YUM – just about run its course.
    17. $FLR – stop below $43.80.
    18. $EL – stop below $133.
    19. $HII – From WU “Buy above $211.” Look for $230. Alert $228

    20. $TREE – still going? Yes. ...
  • Gary: ...
    7. $YUM – Alert $8.50
    8. $USM – Cheezit. Working on a scanning tool for active traders that will find this kind of thing every day.
    9. $EZPW – alert. Starting to move out of base. Not the best squeeze.
    Requests:
    1. $ILG – ...
  • champ: $CMG ---- Now bouncing...up about $30 and I got lucky because I added yesterday....I posted that I was waiting for them to pick a new CEO and they announced today, that they did ...$YUM...Taco Bells, Brian Nicole., as their new CEO...this is the News and the bounce, that I was waiting for. I was running out of Patiences but Patiences most always pays off, if your reason for holding the stock is correct...but it was easy to hold because I had a low risk-entry and I added yesterday because the stock bounced in the morning but fell-back and I added on that drop.
  • champ: $CMG at around $320...Day 5 off the recent low ---- Sure looks like this stock, is starting to get some momentum going, off of UpGrades, with higher targets, from #analysts because the Tax Reform benefits restaurants and at SunTrust, they are saying, ...
  • Bridget: Earnings after the Close: $FB $GPRO $RIG $QCOM $YELP $TSLA $SHAK Earnings before open tomorrow: $APA $YUM $CHK $BABA $RL
  • DAN: @Junior1 $SNPS $CCL $YUM $MCD $TTC $CMCSA Hey Junior1. Thanks for the suggestions. Will add them to the watch list. DAN
  • Junior1: @DAN Some stocks that could be added to the watch list... based on your criteria: Up-trending Above the 50 Above the 200 In a Volatility Squeeze, or popping above Avg Vol >500k Minimum price > 12.00 $SNPS $CCL $YUM $MCD $TTC $CMCSA
  • DrScience: $YUM $YUMC moving to new 52-week highs.
  • Bridget: ...
    $YUM / $MCD - both looking strong, but $MCD is due for a rest
    $NTES - saw a bigger pullback in the channel but was met by buyers
    $GD $LMT $NOC - defense stocks onto phase 3
    $IT - breaking out of squeeze
    $PYPL $EBAY - both moving higher
    $MRVL - new 5 ...
  • Bridget: Notes: $BHP $RIO - both have similar charts and are at important support point. A move higher would be continuation of longer term trend or a breakdown is a continuation of the shorter term trend. $BIDU - has been consolidating for almost a year, looking ready to breakout $BP $MPC - still my 2 favorite oil stocks $YUM $MCD $KO - all working $CALA - breakout to new high $CORT - breakout to new high $DAR - breakout to new high $QCOM - moving higher with little resistance $XLNX - looking extended but still in solid uptrend $DOV - breakout of 5 month consolidation $NOC $LMT - both close to breaking out $SBUX - watch for $62 $GE $CBI $T - seeing a bounce after a long downturn $FINL - was down on $FL earnings
  • DrScience: $YUM Making a new 52-week high. For the intrepid: If history repeats itself, this stock could swoon long enough for a JUN 67.50/70 Bear Call Spread @ 1.50 credit to make a 50% return in the next couple of weeks.
  • Bridget: $YUM hitting a new 52 week high. It is a bit extended here though. Would wait for some consolidation before getting in for the next move higher.
  • tejas7: @Bridget $YUM thats one beautiful bowl. If it consolidates, it will make cup and handle too...:)
  • Bridget: @Bridget $YUM $MCD is going higher as well. I wonder if it is in response to $yum.
  • Bridget: $YUM breaking out rhrn. Saw some nice volume yesterday. Pushing through the 50DMA. $MCD is certainly working so why not $YUM.
  • Aragorn: @Aragorn $BIO $LITE $ACHC $RGEN $DNBF $HBI $AMGN $INGR $MAA $DXCM $YUM $TGT $CAG $HTZ . The following short Rev strats worked real well DXCM YUM TGT HTZ. I am not sure who day trades and who doesn't but when I put out some of this stuff it can work really well
  • Aragorn: Hers are some potential Rev strats hammers for Monday based on the daily chart and chart patterns/locations I like and ones I think have the potential to give you something if they trigger. I ma leave off inexpensive tickers and ones that trade on low volume $BIO $LITE $ACHC $RGEN $DNBF $HBI Below are rev strat shooters looking to short on Monday $AMGN $INGR $MAA $DXCM $YUM $TGT $CAG $HTZ
  • Henry: @Trixie $PNRA $YUM Everybody must be going out to dinner so they don't have to watch the news
  • TunaHelper: @gwenzee $MCD Hi @gwenzee, Yeah, I saw that as well. I was wondering if it was inspired by $YUM's spinoff of $YUMC a few weeks ago. I guess that values each restaurant at a bit over $1M USD.
  • gwenzee: @TunaHelper $MCD $YUM $YUMC Not an inexpensive endeavor. In US franchises of MCD cost $1-$2.2 million with liquid capital requirement of 750k. Also franchise fee of 45K. Plus monthly fee and rent. WOW!!! Have to sell a lot of Big Macs.
  • gwenzee: @TunaHelper $MCD $YUM $YUMC Apparently the food scandal of 2014 hurt several companies doing business in China. OSI the supplier (which is a US company) changed the labeling on supplied meat which was up to 1 year past its "use by" date. UGH!!! YUM did change suppliers but MCD didn't. MCD may possibly redo its business model there and sell franchises so that they are out of the loop of day to day operations. Let the locals feel the heat instead of the company.
  • TunaHelper: @gwenzee $MCD $YUM $YUMC Wow, didn't know that. I thought that was just for $YUM (I didn't know the problem was from their supplier). However, I cannot fault them for also blaming $YUM and $MCD, because they should probably have had more than one supplier and should always do quality checks. Serving meat that is > 1 year old (even if someone else supplied it) is really inexcusable.
  • Ernest: $YUM Yum fell 29%. They spun of their China division due to sluggish performance and health concerns. Way below 3rd div B/B and still falling NP, watching.
  • Bridget: Notes: $PBF, $TSO, $AEIS, $CWEI - big breakout on volume but still pulling back. Will likely be the highs we'll see for awhile $NTES - shot across the bow $ELLI - phase 2 $MAS - also breaking down with $COST, $LOW, $SHW, $GLW $ABMD - still holding at support $WB, $SINA, $YY, $TSLA, $WMB, $OXY, $TRP - breaking down out of a squeeze $D - inside day, off of support $AET - breaking down $YUM - at 52 week low $WCG - the one stock that is working $MPEL - breaking out higher before earnings
  • issues: @Bridget $PBF $TSO $AEIS $CWEI $NTES $ELLI $MAS $COST $LOW $SHW $GLW $ABMD $WB $SINA $YY $TSLA $WMB $OXY $TRP $D $AET $YUM $WCG $MPEL Thank you Bridget for this analysis. NTES is one that looks to be short-able at this point, don't ya thunk?

  • traderbren: $YUM - cleared $86
  • Forexpro: Re: $YUM Hi, Friends, The Dow newswire, via Theflyonthewall.com, reports that $YUM is in negotiations with $KKR to sell off a portion of its Chinese businesses. http://schrts.co/HXgQIZ All the best!
  • champ: $YUM at $80.40 - Quick spike following report that it could sell China stake ...reading this on Briefing a few minutes ago....I have a swing working.
  • champ: $$YUM - WSJ now has an article out about this M&A news...so it looks like this news is now confirmed.
  • Bridget: $YUM breaking through the 200MA
  • champ: @DAN $VRX - I hear you... I was only in for about 6 minute..on that bounce...in and out real fast.....too many things going on. I pick up $YUM at $78.43 when it drop a little and parked it next to $MCD. Looks like it has room to work.....what do you think...?
