YUM Stock earnings came out on Oct 7 and missed estimates by 1 cent. Revenue though continues to be soft. Revenue has never recovered to the 2012 level and should be watched by investors for further signs of trouble. Meanwhile today, the three-year chart is my tool to decide whether the decline in YUM Stock following their earnings 3 days ago is under control and it is time for another trade.

YUM Stock has done incredibly well for my portfolio but protection is important now not just because of the decline in the overall market but also due to the revenue numbers. With that in mind I did one trade today using the 3 year chart to guide my decision but there is an intriguing covered calls trade for stock holders or those who like buy-writes that offers strong protection. It also offers investors who may have wanted to get into the stock but a lower prices a possible chance to do so.

A third trade I outline looks at a credit put spread widened across two different expiry periods which could become an exceptional trade and possibly one of the best credit put spreads of the year for me in YUM Stock.
