Burger King (BKC) served up a financial whopper and pleased the market with really great financial news. The company has been dogged by Billionaire Nelson Peltz who claims he can do something better. Prior experience at Arby's is influencing his opinion. So if you believe the numbers what does a take over offer provide to investors. Burger King has improved dramatically. They spun off Tim Horton's. They sold that Baja Fresh Mexican Grill thing that was losing money. They increased their store count dramatically and improved hours and menu.

Did such a growth rate deserve a nearly 6% cut in share price? Analysts were only looking for 55 cents per share, according to Earnings.com. <>Well, Wall Street apparently wasn'>...

McDonald’s Corporation’s (MCD) comparable sales for the month of October 2009 showed a sluggish growth of 3.3% as against the rise of 8.2% in the same month last year, exposing its sensitivity to rising unemployment, economic downturn, and the discount war amongst fast-food chains to lure consumers. The company faces stiff competition from Burger King Holdings Inc. (BKC), Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. (WEN) and Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM).
