They report Wednesday. Chipotle just reported a good quarter and the market didn't care--warning. Chipotle owns all its stores, but Yum is heavily franchised. Will Yum have the same success finding workers as Chipotle?

They delivered this morning a huge EPS beat, beat revenues and 9% same-store sales growth, but the stock hardly budged. One reason was that management didn't issue guidance, because the environment is unpredictable, but also the stock has recently run up. Yum includes chains KFC and Pizza Hut.

Has held it for many years. Recently sold it to make room for one of her top picks. A well-regarded quick serve company. The Chinese spinout has done better than the Yum! Brands that trades in New York. Saw better opportunities elsewhere.

She still owns YUM. Their brand are Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC. In China, they have a large presence -- it represents about 30% of their revenues. Since most locations focused on drive-thru they are doing okay. There is still good growth opportunities overseas and they are looking into India to expand.
