BK

BoilingPointTTV

Opening our markets to American goods? Have a look around, we have an enormous amount of US goods everywhere! McD, BK and Dominos ... shelves full of Coca Cola and another American brands. Alot of the other brands are subsidiaries of huge multinational conglomerates. We use a ton of American online services and OS and software. We also consume tons of American made movies, tv series, music and other arts. I dont see how we could realistically consume more American goods, especially since most of the stuff made in the EU is of higher or equal quality. To be honest i dont understand how America imports more from ys, than vice versa

Hey, BK was excellent… at insider trading.

ThatWillLeaveA-Mark

Lost nearly 1 mil holding a bunch of nearly BK'd, corrupt f,ng stocks. Now, I have about 850k in the bank after moving in with my mom a while back. Saving lots of money on food and such. " I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me".

RichardUkinsuch

Just looking at the real estate value, sure a store in the middle of nowhere, Kansas wouldn't be worth alot, those stores in SoCal, the land alone, not including the building, is worth millions more than most people think. I live in the Milwaukee area and know people who work at the corporate offices and they seem to feel the atmosphere is getting a little better since they fired Ashley and got rid of the hedgefund "consultant" plants that were doing shady stuff. With institutional ownership being over 100%, they are definitely trying to BK kohls and get the real estate cheap "legally" in bankruptcy court.

Wearing my BK crown, what should I say?

haze_from_deadlock

It's not a scam, it's a bet You are entering into a bet with Robinhood about the valuation of OpenAI. Robinhood is your counterparty. If Robinhood enters BK, you will be legally counted amongst Robinhood's creditors. This is comparable to how betting on the Baltimore Ravens at DraftKings does not actually give you any equity in the Baltimore Ravens company.

Did you guys buy Financial’s? MS WFC STT BK. It’s free money through end of year

Well WOLF had BK news yesterday and the stock doubled. Up is down. Black is white.

Arboga_10_2

I bought a guitar in 1990 for $800 (Ibanez JEM777V-BK), and it sells for about $3500-4000 these days. I guess over 35 years it barely kept up with inflation.

chrsb

Going BK

leomeng

Buy some two-three month calls on the big banks. STT , MS, GS will be receiving the largest reduction in eSLR meaning they can take on more risk. JPM is receiving the smallest amount of eSLR reduction due to systemic importance and complexity. BK also receiving a big change but the option spread is hard. They are also trying to buy NTRS so it’s a little heavy

TinyTiger5

$24 ouch, I would sell now. But you have until December 30 to make up your mind. I am of the opinion that wolf will wipe out the shareholders in BK and issue new shares post bankruptcy under new ticker. G/L

leomeng

I’m dropping $15-20k on a variety of STT BK and MS calls aug/sept

There's still a few boredapes(idk if thats in Automods dictionary) on murals in Williamsburg BK, I laugh every time I see them

Fucking BK wants over $8 for a whopper with cheese and bacon (burger alone, no sides). Do they not realize you can head over to Applebee's and get a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a soft drink for $10 to go 🤣

liberalmonkey

Wow, I didn't realize it'd be that cheap.  The same order here in the Philippines from BK is about $13. I wonder why it's so cheap in China comparatively.

Welcome to Burger King Have it your way, at BK, can I take your order 😒

Havok4650

Advising someone to file BK over 14k even if they make minimum wage is hilarious 😂you ain’t buying anything in the next 5 years if you file BK and when you finally get approved 7 years later it’ll be for a $200 secured credit card. Nothing like paying 22% interest on money you had to pay upfront 🍻

Trump wants to lower rates because he knows the country is going BK if it has to re-fi at these current interest rate levels

NH_Swingtrader7498

Stocks going up and down. If you want to buy a stock and keep it for 20-30 years from now, I have to say either SPY, VOO, or SP500 ETFs because they will be there for you. Other individual stocks might go BK in any recession such as CSCO, INTC, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL during the Dotcom bust or ENRON, WAMU, and on and on. It might not what you want to hear but it is a HARD TRUTH. SP500 will correct and going up and will be there for you while others might not.

Mountain_Sand3135

another reason why self -actualization is important STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW Dont think because are are good at 1 thing you are good at all things Elon should have stayed in tech. and be happy leave all this other stuff alone.

gatovision

BK is a stretch but imagine if the market valued them where they should be like $100-150B or less? so currently 10xs over valued? wouldn’t happen quick unless there were acct issues.

haze_from_deadlock

Yeah, bagholders have legal rights. If the underlying company goes into BK, the United States government ensures he gets what is left of their assets after people senior in the capital structure get their share.

gatovision

First i think there’s a lot of good value stocks but nobody cares about them. tech/meme shit is out of control though but look at DG, AAP, ELF, etc. sometimes they’ll liftoff. AI theme / Datacenter still runs the market. CNBC is becoming unwatchable because its just about that all day every day. Very similar to 2020-21 but it’s an even stronger bull market because they can ride the AI trend indefinitely or until the world is overcapacity with data-centers. Who knows when that happens but same thing happened in late 90s with telcom/internet buildout and a bunch of companies that were viewed as unstoppable went BK

honging

Their food is on par with probably BK. The stores I used to frequent have always been very well maintained and clean (SoCal). It’s not as shit as people in this sub would have you believe - their product is decent. But it doesn’t have anything that would make me pick it over other FF options.

jenius123

As an American who has been through my teen and college years living broke off Taco Bell and BK deals, I've literally never eaten at a Jack in the Box. I wouldn't touch that ticker. Now, In&Out is bomb even as gainfully employed adult.

Sad_Ad8730

I just saw the Bank of New York bro donated $150 million, BK at very ATHs

tstrand1204

Their only choices are to dilute or go BK, so I guess they could keep issuing shares but not sure who’s going to want to buy. That just kicks the can down the road and drives the stock price lower and lower. They have no path to positive cash flow

tstrand1204

BK incoming

tstrand1204

CGC burns $165MM cash from operations in the last year and has $113MM cash on balance sheet. How could this be on any path other than straight to BK?

Alarmed_Expression77

Similar tactics used by Sears. Sears would buy nearly 100% of a company’s manufacturing output, and for a few years increase their purchases. Then shut off all purchases and buy the company out of BK.

shafteeco

I read all the BK docs. Stock was supposed to be cancelled/deleted in 2011. But the catch is they shorted it so hard and there are so many FTDs it is literally impossible for them to unwind even if they wanted to. Like best case scenario is the banks/prime brokers go under. Here we are in 2025. They still are posting articles to sell all your shares too lol. at least 24B short and the FTDs with 2016 data is 28 quadrillion. yes you read that right. Quadrillion. If you want to check and verify the FTD or short data you can't unfortunately because they removed it from any available internet archive(EDGAR, SEC, FINRA, etc.) while other old ass companies and stocks that are long gone are still searchable there. And these are conservative estimates lol. It also has a positive interest rate meaning the banks are paying the market makers to keep these positions open. That's literally the opposite of how shorts are usually priced. Now why would banks be incentivizing the market maker and losing money? And what ever assets Dish didn't buy are still held in the shell. I checked and the shell is delinquent on taxes but is still active.

I think they changed there ranch as well i remember as a kid I loved their fries in ranch maybe a year or two ago I had BK and was so disappointed the fries and ranch tasted horrible.

Candelpins1897

700% tariff until BK brings back the original Rodeo burger served on the original chicken sandwich roll with cheese. Damnit.

DJpissnshit

Haven't been to BK in years but WTF they changed the fries? Those things and the chicken tenders were the only things they did better than anyone.

FFS_AnythingWillDo

So how many BK dinners fit in a handful ?

Wreck1tLong

Glad I’m not holding that grudge alone. I have eating BK probably less than half be hand since they changed their fries.

Worst case, he can just file BK and all this gets wiped out clean. Can do it again!

What are the best high risk / high reward names, besides GTBIF / TCNNF (both of which I already own). In case there are positive developments in the space, I'd like to take more risk (but have potentially more reward) on some names, but I also don't want companies in dire risk of BK.

Wolf in debt restructuring negotiations with Apollo and brought in the team at Moelis. BK news is completely unconfirmed with zero sources supplied by WSJ. Also institutions own 110% of outstanding shares... https://fintel.io/so/us/wolf Once the debt is resolved the 45% short will get killed.

Scared_Inside6556

I wouldn't touch them. They are still bleeding billions and years away from even breaking even, if ever. I think they eventually run out of $$ and file for BK.

RaechelMaelstrom

So you didn't look up the data from an actual source, but relied on ChatGPT to get it right. I asked ChatGPT how many calories there are in a BK chicken sandwich a few days ago and it didn't even get it right, and that's just scraping a fast food website. Then you did the math yourself, and didn't get it right. Then you finally come to the conclusion that this is a "nothing burger", without any real thoughts to the actual ramifications of what this means, because well, you don't know. So you're just going to buy the dip no matter what. Got it. Great research. Solid.

Harrison21033

I asked, after the downgrade, my Uncle who worked at BK, he told me to buy Walmart or Target some grocery defensive stocks, I don’t know if that is correct. I putted all my my money in tech companies now …

wowthisguyoverhere

Need to know the conspiracy behind how burger king is still in business. I don't dislike BK, but it's like they are every other fast food chains "little brother", imo.

Rainyfriedtofu

I had breakfast with my wife on the weekend. Eggs, bacon, and pancakes. The bill came out to $50. No wonder businesses like Ihop is going to go BK. IT cost nowhere near that to make those things yourself.

teflfornoobs

Yo Wendy's does a great job making their patties resemble actual beef. As opposed to the science experiments at BK and McD. I'm surprised they're not bigger but Americans... not the best consumers

Starspace97

Well firstly Value is subjective and secondly why wouldn’t you want the market to work naturally and fairly determine whether a stock goes BK or not? Are saying no one gets hurt by the illegal naked shorting? The losers are the companies that might not have went bk if they weren’t targeted with illegal naked shorting. For as long as the market lets them raise capital, businesses are allowed to lose money temporarily and adapt their business during times of change/recession. By illegally naked shorting them to the ground they stop the processes of adaptation and destroy businesses that would have adapted and survived. I say we punish this illegal shorting and stay true to what the free markets stand for.

Aswell they didnt renew one big sorting center which was almost 10m rent a year, The corrupt new ceo got fired with the ridiculous salary, they have real assets, but that revenue keeps going down If they could get rid off all unprofitable stores, invest in online, and improve overall expenses, this is a 3-5x or BK

Rainyfriedtofu

Oh my fucking god. Just remove the damn tariff already. Most businesses don't make 30% margin. People are still going to BK. Kicking the can down the road for 90 days is not a solution. these motherfuckers.

reddit_1_after_909

That's the beauty of BK to the people that caused the BK. Shareholders' money is flushed, and everybody continues to come in to work and giggle. The sole IINM downsides are 1. relatively minor one-time administrative and legal costs; 2. Lip service layoffs and cutbacks (that will be quickly reversed sometime after BK); and 3. no bonuses for perhaps a year. Then the full party resumes, like nothing happened, but with free money - really nearly free. But the upsides are numerous and thunderous, one of which is unfathomably lucrative: 1. frontrunning (via unconnected parties, whisper, whisper) the BK by shorting outright, a Pelosi perfect killing that is infinite-ish, only limited by whisper confederates' trust; and 2. overspending to vendors/suppliers/consultants/etc. that are the Board members' friends, relatives, affiliates, and entities-they-are-invested-in, in the months or year prior to dropping the axe (to the degree they cannot be unwound; something like supplier payments probably if not certainly won't be unwound). Those are big-big-big ones. Did I miss another big-big-big one?

David949

My company bankrupts in 2007 and I was out of a job. I couldn’t find work in 2008 at half my old salary. By 2009 I was getting IT gigs off of craigslist and selling shit on eBay to pay the mortgage. The crash was the BEST thing to ever happen to me in my life. It made me start a business, start investing and have control over my finances. I got lucky. I didn’t have much invested in the market at the time and when my company BK I just rolled over my 401k in cash so it wasn’t invested. My biggest regret about 2008 and COVID was they were both once in a lifetime opportunities and I really fumbled. I wish I borrowed and bought stocks and real estate.

Soenryu

Looking for advice on an IRA I inherited from my mom's passing. It's a mix of stocks and cash and I'm wondering if I should just sell all of the stocks now and use that to diversify into a few ETFs given the market climate. At a high level: \- My portion that I just received is currently sitting at about 550k (385k stocks / 165k cash) \- The stocks are mostly tech and finance (NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL and MS, COF, PRU, BK) I'm not loving the idea of being invested directly in individual stocks even though the account has done well over time; not very optimistic about the next few months in the markets. That being said my initial thoughts were to sell all the stocks now, and then use the funds to purchase VTI and VXUS. If I decide to do this, what would you say is a reasonable time range to cost average into the two etfs? Should I buy some each week over the next year until all of the funds are in the two etfs? Go longer or shorter? I don't want to wait too long to get the money in but again, being cautious about the next few months makes me think it would be worth it to do it over at least the year. One last bit of info, I can only really take the money out of the IRA over the last 2-3 years of the required 10 year withdrawal period due to tax concerns, that being even a small withdrawal would more than likely put me in the 37% tax bracket, so I plan to take the funds out when I am no longer working in year 8/9/10, not sure if that impacts any suggestion on strategy. Thanks for the opinions in advance!

sf_guest

Be glad, they’re one of the lucky ones. I’ve been seeing clients encounter real severe business disruptions very fast due to the actions of this administration. As a result many need to raise some kind of financing very quickly, and looking at these P&Ls - it’s just not going to happen for many of them. Expecting at least one of the companies I’m working with will be throwing in the towel (filing BK) later this month.

txmail

Its kind of funny, but I get a craving for a Texas Whopper about twice a year. This year I went to a BK that I have never been too and when it came out it looked like it was prepped for a commercial photo shoot. It was the prettiest burger I have ever seen, like actually looked like the adverts (minus the patty being bigger than the bun). Bright red tomatoes, green lettuce and cheese perfectly curled over the patty. Even the onion rings were crispy and everything was piping hot. Still tore up my stomach but I blame it on eating so much grease. Worth it.

MrRoboto12345

I guess BK finally got their whopping publicity they've been lacking for years now

GoChuckBobby

I hope they defy BK and bust a squeeze. We can't lose another iconic staple in time. Turn those TV dinners into diet-shots and L.F.G. !!! WW

eddie991ao

BK suing McD. lol

LouieKablooied

Can't even shake student loans with a BK.

pmoO0

I recently had a VERY bad whopper from BK. It’s going downhill fast. Still prefer the fries to McD‘s.

dcmso

Its three things: -The price is ridiculously high; -The protions are smaller (shrinkflation, google it) -The quality of the ingredients is awful. It was never great to begin with, I know. But everything just tastes like crap. BK is much better in that regard.

jj77985

cant tell my town. these virginia fat asses line up in the mcdonalds drive thru so hard that it blocks my access to Lowes and if for some reason I DO want fast food, its certainly not fast. Burger King is across the street with like no people. Its mind blowing. These people CANT be getting fast food because theyre in a hurry. Its mental conditioning or something. They would roll on over to BK otherwise.

ashguru3

McDonald's has become expensive. Almost as expensive as eating out in a good restaurant (minus the tips). I go to Popeyes instead nowadays. I think BK is also as expensive as Mc. DD is slowly hiking their prices and getting expensive too. Honestly, there's very few fast food restaurants that are 'affordable'.

McGuire72

I feel like BK and Wendys haven't gone up nearly as much as McDonalds, relatively speaking.

Statorhead

International market perspective: based in Germany, I like fast food, and indulge regularly on business trips. Pre-Trump the worsening value for money at McD, BK and KFC was already a concern. Now me and many other Europeans will actively avoid US related products. Döner & Currywurst FTW.

Reddit_is_fascist69

BK gave me cold fries. They suck.

Vandirac

I refuse to give them money since when they actively engaged in a certain presidential campaign's activity. I prefer BK, and I came to appreciate their taste more than McD. Not like I used to spend lots of money there, but I guess I am not the only one.

_Ed_Gein_

Yeah it's up to 20% more expensive but how the quality (if that), half the size/weight and more then double the sugars and salts of everything around it. That besides the fact it turns my intestines into a straight pipe.. How about they reduce prices, increase quality and see if that makes it any better? BK is better quality here but it's suffering as well. You never see either full anymore not even after drinking nights.

alkevarsky

> I can get better food elsewhere for the same price This. It seems non-chain restaurants are slower to jack their prices. I can get a sit down meal at a local eatery for the same price as a BK combo.

Ragetastic1990

Why would I ever pay 10 bucks for McDonald's or BK when I could spend 10 bucks at chipotle and get fresher better food.

T-Doggie1

The BK regular cheeseburger is turning into a Krystal/White Castle at twice the price as it was in 2020.

gofunkyourself69

To be fair, Mcdonalds is fucking terrible compared to places like BK and Wendy's.

Creepy-Debate897

I cannot understand why they are still in business after decades of objectively inferior product. Even when I was kid in the 90s I knew McDonald's was shit tier food. Back then I actually preferred BK or pizza from anywhere.

MattSzaszko

I live in the Netherlands. I do like the occasional fast food bite while on the road. McDonald's has no meal below 10 euro, which is insane. And they have no deals in their app either. Both KFC and BK have decent 5 euro (more like 6 now) value meals even without using an app. And McDonald's ain't better than these two, especially not at the lower price tier. If you'd go for the seasonal specials, you could just go to a basic sit down place.

No-Paramedic7619

Ok and alot of BK are now also in gas stations and similar locations because most BK and fast food don't serve any alcohol but since alot if standalone BK closed leaving primarily the combined locations i could see multiple BK locations looking like it's BK serving drinks wheb it's them just buying the beer at the gas station refrigerators and bringing it to the BK side to get food. I don't know of a specific law preventing it but the cost for a NYC liquor license to sell beer at the location is probably too much wheb you include cost of stocking beers and keeping available for customers

Didntlikedefaultname

I had to look into this and it seems I misremembered. It was BK not McDonald’s. I commuted into water st via WTC

Moore2877

No it's because the quality of their food has plummeted along with BK's. People are getting sick and realizing where it's coming from.
