Financial Recap: Yesterday, the monies ate rich and everyone was aroused financially. When I was walking home from work people were throwing their small, portable barbecue grills at each other they were so excited. I told my brain to remain calm.
Stock Tip: Wendy’s (WEN) only costs $4.97 right now (August 11, 2011). That seems low. It would be tough to buy a combo meal at Wendy’s for only $4.97. When I see the $4.97 price tag I sort of want to raise a lot of capital through shady business deals and use all the dirty money on low-priced hamburger stocks. It seems insane that the third burger in America’s stomach market is priced at $4.97. I think that price will double today. If it doubles someone should give me a job as the global financial analyst for all beefs in America.
Why is this beef soggy: In July, Wendy’s cut the stain off itself. It had been sucking on a soggy bread loaf of roast beef (Arby’s) for many years, but it finally gave up on it because it noticed I had never eaten there and probably never would. This recent divorce has produced some solid second quarter earnings. Wendy’s now feels like a part of the belly of America’s hamburger stomach ripe to plump.
The financial horizon of the place we call the future: Even though Wendy’s seems low it will probably ultimately fail as a business. Wendy’s is sort of not in a great place. The American stomach option has changed. Everyone is making hamburgers these days. There have always been better options than the big three (MCD, BK, WEN), but now there seem to be even more better options. McDonalds will always get their piece of the American stomach and Burger King somehow manages to scrape up the residue of whatever McDonalds can’t lick out of the cracks in the sidewalks (p.s. America’s infrastructure is crumbling which means lots of cracks to lick), but the American stomach might be softening and shrinking, cutting off the third option.
How to become a global entity: I think Dave Thomas is probably dead (I don’t even want to bother doing a google search), but regardless of whether or not he is someone needs to make a commercial with the corpse of whatever is left of Dave Thomas. If he’s dead, throw some headphones and sunglasses on him, and do a Weekend at Bernie’s ripoff and if he’s not dead then let Zach Galifianakis wear him as a puppet. The only option for Wendy’s, and every other business in America, is to become pop culturally relevant all the time.
