Yum Stock has been in my portfolio since 2009. Every year I have earned double-digit returns, but this year I have earned as much as I did in the past 3 years combined. The volatility has increased in Yum Stock which, when combined with the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade, has brought in significant returns for 2012.
With the news out of China this morning that authorities are closing down two farms due to health concerns, both of which supplied Yum Brands and McDonalds restaurants with chickens, YUM Stock continued its decline falling briefly below $65.83.
