YUM'S forecasts look good and the kicker could be insurance against the possible fall of the dollar. 31% of it's sales and profits from the US. Of course if the dollar keeps going up it hurts YUM. A couple of signs the dollar may turn is gold and food may have bottomed, not convincingly. A falling dollar would be great for many of the stocks mentioned on this board that have big international revenues and profits.

I think YUM fairs better than MCD in the health area, but CMG going all organic is my top fast food place to eat. But CMG is way over priced, IMO and new competition in many forms will certainly come in after CMG's success.
