YUM Plunges After-Hours On 'Shocking' China KFC Miss
Just as we warned, the avian flu in China has had a very significant impact on its KFC chain
- *YUM BRANDS MARCH COMP SALES DOWN 13% FOR CHINA UNIT :YUM US
- *YUM BRANDS: MARCH SAME-STORE SALES DOWN 16% AT KFC CHINA
It seems slashing prices did not do the trick - though we are sure this strain of the deadly virus is just a 'storm in a teacup' buying opportunity.

Has anyone stopped for a moment to consider just how finger licking good flu virus infected chicken parts are for you after being deep fried in 370 degree F cooking oil and served at 170 degrees F?
It’s probably a lot safer than the monkey brain tartar or tabby cat chop suey at some venues.
Fuck the chicken... Cartman knows, it's all about the gravy!

b...b...,but, is this related to the PLA Colonel charging US bio-warfare caused latest bird-flu?
some one short kfc ?

Well what did they expect? You can't make it any more obvious than building a fucking KFC on the grounds of the infamous Unit 731 complex from WW2.

...or just sort of drifts through it, until being fished out by AnAnonymous and added to the menu at his JKC (Just Killed Cat) fastfood franchise.

When Yum offers a 1- Yen menu, then you know that deflation has arrived.
This is probably good for a cool 1% rise in the S&P tomorrow.
Stop being a pessimist. It will be at least as good as today, if not more for the market.
YUM will gap down 2-3% and then close down 1%. Within a week it will be higher than the news gap and pushing.
The Yen is approaching a value of one U.S. penny.
Who even bothers to pick up a penny anymore?
That means the Yen is basically worthless.
Hyperinflation has already arrived in Japan.
Well don't count um out yet. you used to get 230 yen per dollar in the early 70's. Then the big car and tv explosion exportation took it down to 120 over 20 years. I'm sure they've learned a thing or two since then to keep the currency just where they need it.
I don't think they're in control of their currency anymore. They''ve become puppets of the Fed in an attempt to save the dollar. Same goes for the Euro. I think the inflation on imports caused by these devaluations is going to be much more they expected.
That was more Plaza Accord than anything else
YUM could recruit Johnson, the ex-CEO of JCPenneys, to help turn their sales around...i hear he's job hunting.
First that disgusting brain chicken and now avian flu. If they sheep had any fuckin brains KFC would be RIP, but since they don't they'll take some biscuit and fries with them chicken wings

you rike chicken, we hook you up rickety sprit!
With all of the recent animal deaths, China is running out of things to deep-fry in batter and serve in styrofoam boxes...
Probably best just to eat the styrofoam...hmmm, chicken-flavored styro!
Yea, that river flavored poultry and pork is gettin the birds around here sick.

the big banking reset is VERY VERY VERY close!!
If you're not out of the banks right now, you'll regret it!!!
RECAPITALISING, RESTRUCTURING AND CLOSING DOWN OF BANKS!!!
RRC!!!
WE'RE TALKING TRILLIONS OF EURO'S BABY!!!
According to Google Translate:
The growth of the world economy will accelerate this year as recovery in Europe and Japan fails. That is Director Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said today during a press conference in New York. She thinks that the growth is not much higher than last year. The organization comes about a week with new growth forecasts.
According Lagarde is the world in three scales in parts: (1) countries that are doing well, (2) a number that almost restored (3) and countries that still needed to be done. Europe belongs to the latter category and should include preparation for a solid reform of the banking sector. "The priority must be to continue to clean up the banking system, through to recapitalize, restructure and, if necessary, by some banks to close," said Lagarde
In Japan should rather increase confidence that monetary policy will lead to economic growth. They therefore welcomed the support plans that the Japanese central bank recently unveiled.
The United States, according to Lagarde nice, but she is worried about the automatic cuts that took effect last month. The so-called sequestration may be at the expense of growth at a time when many Americans are unemployed. "It is an extremely coarse instrument that deep cuts in many important programs, including facilities for the weakest, while the main expenditure items as they are."
According to AnAnonymousTranslate:
The growth of the US 'american' economy will accelerationize this year as farming of the poor, extorting of the weak in Europe and Japan fails. That is 'american' Director Christine Lagarde of the International 'American' Monetary Fund (AIMF) said today during an 'american' propaganda session in New York. She thinks that the rate of blobbing-up is not much higher than last year, alas, alas, three times alas.
According 'american' citizen Lagarde is the world in three (alas, alas, alas) scales in parts: (1) US 'american' and non-US 'american' countries that are doing well, (2) a number that almost captured by 'americanism' (3) and countries that still needed to be blobbed-up by duplicitous 'american' interests. "American' Europe belongs to the latter category and should include preparation for a solid movement of the banking sector. "The priority must be to continue to blob up the banking system, through to recapitalize, restructurize and, if necessary, by some banks to closerize," said Lagarde
In 'american' Japan should rather increase confidence that monetary policy will lead to economic growth via monolizing of the currency debasement means. They therefore welcomed the support plans that the 'american' Japanese central bank recently unveiled.
The United States, parangong of consumptionalization and farming the poor, according to 'american' Lagarde nice, but she is worried about the automatic cuts that took effect last month. The so-called sequestrationalisticalism may be at the expense of so-called 'american' growth at a time when many 'Americans' are unemployed, except for the middle class, which is the king class. "It is an extremely coarse instrument that deep cuts in many important programs, including facilities for the farming of the weakest, while the main expenditure items as they are.
Alas, alas, three times alas, just have to bear with it."

According to sunnysideTranslate:
The growth of the US is fucked, we just won't admit it yet. Europe and Japan are more fucked but they won't admit it yet either.
Lagarde wants more money and more centralized power.
Japan is really fucked and they have decided to go all in and print the fuck out of their currency since everyone is old.
The US is is fucked since they don't make anything and just buy crap on credit.
Alas, suck it up and print until everyone knows they are fucked.
it kind of sums it up....
and what you think you have is actually had and it's not you'rs anymore.
banks know on average for about 14 months that they're in a mess.
this sudden widespread pannick isn't just something a couple of guys just thought up.
their derivatives have blown up. The end.
Houston... we won't be comming home...
Apollo 18... over... and out....
This is the dip you've been waiting for!
Can we be sure you are not the dip shit we have been waiting for?
With a Pulled Pork offering they could turn this around in a heartbeat.
Funny...MSM still pretending 16,000 dead pigs in the Shanghai water supply did not happen, too. Still can't believe that one.
As for YUM, Jim Cramer strikes again, putting everyone in the name the last time it collapsed and bounced. And everyone on the airwaves tonight saying "buy emerging markets." Yeah...sounds like a plan.
those pigs have been processed into some YUMMYYUMMY Chinese secret sauses and are underways to America as we speak.
CHECK YOUR DISCOUNT COUPONS NEXT WEEK AT WALLMART!!!
CHINESE SECRET SAUSE WEEK!!!
Ha!
I just received a case of teriyaki sauce that 'fell of the back of a truck'.

BUT YOU'LL BE FINE I'M SURE!!!
If we don't hear of you in the next 4 weeks... we'll call for a ambulance... to clean up your remains...
Would anyone really notice if KFC deleted that thin ribbon of "chicken" from its offerings, and just sold baskets of fried breading wads? I mean, the whole chicken part is really pretentious at this point.
they can call it chicken, pork, horsemeat, bald eagle fillet...
the content stays the same and isn't any from above...
all we know is that it's deep fried...
KFChildren
Smart, raised a smile.
I wouldn't worry ~ in the next 5-10 years that "chicken" will really be insect protein (pink slime is worse, trust me, and certainly worse in bacterial terms). Some are hedging on Vat Cloning, but I'm going with a few hundred million years of Nature here.
Horse? Dog? Human? in your burger. That's niche marketing.
Man, people don't understand Capitalism.
Hey Tyler (s), Fitch downgraded China yesterday for the first time since 1999. I haven't seen this posted, yet.

China could come out and say their economy is crashing and is expected to shrink 10% next year. It would be viewed positively. It just gives more upside room when they turn the corner ...
S&P up 50(!!!!) points since NFP low. That's 50 points in 4 trading days ...about .8% a day!. This time next year it should be about 6500.
No. You are forgetting about the coming crash. Aim a little lower.
This can't be good.
Global PC shipments fell 13.9% Y/Y in Q1 to 76.9M units, per IDC. That surpasses Q4's 6.4% drop and Q3's 8.6% decline, and is steep even in light of IDC's recent commentary. IDC: "It seems clear that the Windows 8 (MSFT) launch not only didn’t provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market." H-P (HPQ) was the market's leader, but its share fell 200 bps Y/Y to 15.7%. #2 Lenovo (LNVGY.PK) saw its share rise 210 bps to 15.3%, and #3 Dell's rose 40 bps to 11.8%. Apple's (AAPL) U.S. share rose 60 bps to 10%, though U.S. Mac shipments fell 7.5% to 1.4M. [Tech] 8 Comments
And all of the stocks mentioned except AAPL are trading close to 52 week highs.
That's just bullish. That gives them more room for upside surprises in coming quarters.

And tech has been on fire. Look at INTC. Anyway, fuck all this and download LibreOffice FTW.
I know Cursive, this shitshow is beyond ridiculous. Thanks for the link.
oops dup/
When did the bird flu show up? Seems like an excuse like weather, meteors, uranus is dark and stinky, etc...
If we ever do have an economic recovery were going to have to grow 5% per annum for 5 years in order to grow into this S&P market valuation.
Naw - we are in a permanent new paradigm.
There is no point discounting anything. If you wait around it will be fine. When all risks are contained by the Fed there is no downside. The only thing to consider doing is buy or strong buy. Valuations are meaningless, those are old school metrics.
At 0% financing its amazing how many companies can be LBO at 30-40% higher than current valuations ...
At negative financing we can move to 100% higher valuations.
I will LBO IBM right now if the government will give me a -10 rate for 40 years on 400 billion ...
The best way to santize is to irradiate, deep fry and then microwave. Bullish.
They'll just have to work harder, that's all. Looks fantastic for next quarter if they all work for half pay & twice the hours...very Bullish when seasoanlly adjusted for radiation.
I bet all those frozen nuggets are heading for the US.
Is it legal to import food from China, re-package it and add a bit of ingredients, and call it made in America. I had some Ann Chung noodles and sauce and they were no different tasting than the Made in China products. Just the price was way higher.
Someone found a piece of chicken that looked like a brain again?
Got to get rid of these dead pigs in China some way.
BTFD ...
The Colonel is not impressed. None of you lemmings will ever guess my secret recipe.
I wouldn't call a buck fifty "plunging"...
By this time next week, the bounce will carry Yum to all time highs.
Dow Jones up 130 points today - WTF is that?
S&P500 up 19 points today - WTF is this?
only down 16%??? You mean not 100%? BTFD!!
Reserve plunge for something more, uh, plunging.
Not so "YUM"my?
Not so "YUM"my?
YUM only down 10c this am - it does not matter in this market - huge drop in sales = who cares. Look forward a year, two years and its fine. There is very little that cannot be discounted in the current market. If current conditions or projected for next 6 months is bad it does not matter - they simply chalk it off with any excuse and continue buying.
