Really.?
A case of do as I do,not as I say?

People need to take personal responsibility for their diet, health and wellbeing. Not my job or yours. Its not a pure sin stock like a weapons manufacturer, gambling, alcohol or tobacco but there are elements of it I don't like and certainly the death rate from heart disease and clogged arteries is alarming...but people buy cars and they get killed so there's a lot of grey area's when it comes to whether an investment is ethical and this is one of those cases. One of my most respected religious elders has RBD shares and doesn't seem to have an ethical issue with them and he's a lot wiser about such issues than this hound.
Unfortunately too many religious people do not let their morals get between them and a dollar...lol.
Touche! percy!
It's so hard to determine what differentiates a fringe sin stock from a "real" sin stock, isn't it! I don't hold RBD, but only because I missed the bus there, not being convinced that buying into Hawaiian pizza was a great idea.
I sold mine on the Hawaiin deal,however, luckily the trust I help out on did not.
ps.I think each of us have to decide for ourselves moral issues. I do worry about HBL and TRA making credit too easily available, to people who should not be taking on debt, for consumer products.Then if they don't have a car they can't get to work?
Best left for "off market discussion." That way we will be spared the rants...lol.
So many grey area's, banks making unsecured loans too easy, airlines creating too much pollution, soft drink makers making too many sugary drinks. As a quick and easy meal once every so often fried chicken, pizza or Carl's Jnr isn't going to kill you, well not much earlier than anything else lol.
I go to Carl's Jnr every now and again. The burgers are consistently exceptionally good, unfortunately our closest outlet has yet to learn how to deliver hot fries with their burgers. Maybe if I am really dogmatic and insistent about the latter when placing my order it might make a difference.
Grey areas? What about Personal Responsibility then? Don't borrow more than one can afford to repay. Choose to eat and drink healthy-ish.
Quaint old fashioned notion, I know.
Yes exactly, personally I don't eat KFC very often because it's fat content by the time you've polished off a half a dozen pieces is stratospheric. Unfortunately the ones that consume the most of this product already have a low life expectancy,and I don't see things changing anytime soon. Not a Sin stock when compared to SKC ,as eating RBD products doesn't normally lead to marriage/family breakdowns or suicides etc. PS-Wouldnt buy SKC if it was the best value play on the market, if fact I wouldn't even accept any as a gift.
Had a nice Pizza from Pizza hut for dinner to celebrate my new investment, not dead yet lol
They are bloody awful pizza's with anything meaty dripping with preservatives and the veggie's sparse on top of preserved sauces. You could make a better pizza for a fraction of the price in a much shorter time. But it is convenient if you don't mind the drive, or paying a premium for delivery. Sadly take away Pizza is an expensive luxury masquerading as a cheap fast food, but it's got the masses confused enough so RBD should continue to do very well until the enlightened overcome the ignorant. Which isn't happening anytime soon by the looks of it.
I have a couple McCains ultra Thin Angus Beef pizzas in the freezer for emergencies or when feeling lazy.
About $5/$6 from New World and 10 minutes in the oven and dinner ready (with a green salad of course). Pretty good pizza for the effort
Pepperoni one quite nice as well.
Best pizzas in Naples though.
It was pretty good for a quick easy feed for a change. Did some shopping while I waited for it to be cooked. Granddaughter liked her's, Mrs Beagle had something healthier. I'll probably have a crook tummy tomorrow lol. Very reluctant to eat that greasy fried chicken at KFC though. Carl's Jnr do make excellent burgers, that would be my pick of the best of the KFC empire but couldn't be bothered driving that far tonight.
Was the wrong time to sell eh
RBD get to the stage where one thinks the share price can't do that much better ...but then they come out and announce the next big growth initiative
Chart says it all ---- red dots when this has happened --- taken share price to a new level (intuitively this should happen eh)
Wonder what it will get too when/if they say Taco Bell going to be big in NZ
Good solid numbers
On track to that $1 billion sales target
