Hold on, You Can't Buy KFC Directly?
Nope, that's the truth, not some elaborate April Fool's joke. KFC itself isn't a publicly traded company. It's part of a much bigger flock – Yum! Brands (yes, the exclamation mark is mandatory). Think of it as a coop that houses KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and a few other hungry brands.

But I Want My Share of the Colonel's Empire!
Don't despair, Colonel wannabe! You can still invest in the KFC experience (sort of) by buying shares in Yum! Brands. Here's the clucking drill:

Open a Trading Account: Think of this as your personalized coop on the stock market. It's where you'll store your shares and place your orders.
-
Get Your Yum! on with the Ticker Symbol: Every company on the stock market has a code. Yum! Brands' is YUM (because, well, Yum!).
