Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: With our monthly Consumer Pulse report, we survey a statistically significant sampling of 1,500 US consumers on a range of financial and economic topics. One question looks at the fast food space -- asking survey participants if they have visited a variety of chains over the past month. This gives us a good idea of month-to-month traffic trends for the space. Regards, Ted http://www.bespokeinvest.com/thinkbig/2015/2/5/a-january-fast-food-slowdown.html?printerFriendly=true
