Wendy's is Getting No Respect

With the broad market still very much indecisive and corrective amid a sharp tech unwind, it is interesting to see fast food player Wendy's consolidating rather well at eleven-year highs to little fanfare, if any. Wendy's is a name we have profiled before and one I am holding in my long-term portfolio, betting that its current $4 billion...

While it remains true that the 30-minute timeframe charts of the major index ETFs (DIA IWM QQQ SPY) are far from wildly...
