FL~~It appears you're familiar~~

With YUM Brands, and IMO there's a good chance you'll see your "double" on this stock. What time frame do you expect this by?

You say: "I walk around China and I notice that they seem to like KFC best of any foreign food". That's good to know. What are you doing there in China, if you don't mind my asking you? Are you there on business, and if so, what sector?

Expansion into China is growing well, according to the Standard and Poors report from the Scottrade research page:

YUM plans to open at least 1,000 restaurants annually, with a focus on international expansion.

We expect 2007 systemwide sales to grow about 5%, paced by double digit international expansion and flat U.S. same-store sales.

U.S. sales have been negatively affected by publicity regarding an E. coli outbreak and rat infestation that affected a number of restaurants.

We see wider profit margins, primarily reflecting improving margins at international operations, with operating profit growth of 20% to 25% for the China division, and 12% to 14% for the Yum! Restaurants International division.

Dividends are great, and YUM this year has paid out four of them so far:

01/10/07 .15
03/07/07 .30
07/11/07 .15
10/10/07 .15

Africa after China is mature? Why not!
