Betraying my Blood

By -

Just to show my bearishness knows no bounds, breaching even the bonds of family ties, I am short two companies that have something in common: my older brother was a senior executive at both of them (well, he still is at one). The first one, YUM, is the company behind Taco Bell, KFC, and other high-fat crap that Americans shove down their throats to make them even more obese than before:

The second is H&R Block, where my beloved brother was recently named President. Sorry, Kip, it’s nothing personal; they’re just squiggles on a grid to me!
