  Blue Chip McDonald’s Still Winning The Burger Wars  After checking the latest happenings in the burger world two things have become clear. The burger and, in particular the QSR burger, the industry is doing just fine and within that McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) stands out as the clear winner. The company does not have the most robust growth outlook but it is the largest competitor by a fair margin so the law of large numbers does apply. The pace of growth may be slowing but McDonald’s project $1.45 billion in YOY revenue growth is more than some of the others make all year and at least half of revenue for the rest. Along with that comes a relatively stable supply chain, a strong balance sheet, and a healthy dividend.  Depositphotos.com contributor/Depositphotos.com - MarketBeat McDonald’s Is Getting Upgrades At The Expense Of Peers  McDonald’s received two notable upgrades this week while its peers continue to get downgraded and have their price targets reduced.

On November 7, 2020, daylight saving time will come to an end. Clocks will be rolled back, Calendars shuffled, and Americans confused. PauseUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI Calendar - Calendar This annual tradition has baffled many Americans who question the system and its purpose. Regardless, everyone needs to make adjustments to keep up with the time change. To understand daylight saving time, you need to brush up on a little bit of history. Here’s why the time change was first introduced and why it’s still in place today: A Brief History of daylight saving The first suggestion for daylight saving came from Benjamin Franklin. He penned an anonymous essay to The Journal of Paris, explaining that people could save money on candles by getting up earlier to rely on natural sunlight. While satirical in its writing, the idea stuck around. Daylight saving time was first implemented during World War I when Germany used it to conserve fuel in 1916. The rest of Europe quickly copied Germany’s schedule...

  Marriott Stock Should Stay on Your Watchlist For Now  After delivering a strong earnings report, shares of Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR) are trading above its 52-week high. The relative strength index (RSI) suggests that the rally in MAR stock may be ready to reverse.   Depositphotos.com contributor/Depositphotos.com - MarketBeat And that bearish sentiment is being echoed by the 13 analysts tracked by MarketBeat. The stock is trading about 13% above the consensus target. However, there are two sides to a story. And in the two days, since the company reported earnings, Marriott has received two price target increases. And although both of those analysts keep MAR stock below its current price, investors should pay close attention to see if further upgrades are in the offing.   This is creating an interesting dynamic for investors. On the one hand, the stock looks overvalued; on the other hand, technical indicators point to the stock going higher....

 The most successful proactive PR efforts often stem from simple, easy-to-understand ideas. The core idea needs to be memorable and easy to explain, but from there, you can get creative and have some fun maximizing attention to benefit your company. The idea doesn’t even need to be yours. You can often still garner positive media attention and grow employee satisfaction simply by participating in a larger campaign started by someone else. Having created proactive PR ideas for clients and employers for more than 20 years, I usually start by looking at a calendar of annual events. Examples would be Christmas, the start of the school year, Valentine’s Day, etc. From there, I brainstorm ideas for how the company can create a news story showing its involvement or actions around that date on the calendar.  Related: How Military Service Made These Veterans Better Entrepreneurs Where it all began Back in 2018, one of those brainstorming sessions stemmed from Veterans Day.

  Every fall, specifically the first Sunday in November, marks the end of the DST period where clocks return to standard time. Since the day of the transition will be 25 hours long, we gain an extra hour. Basically, an hour is lost when DST ends and standard time begins. Calendar - Calendar It’s believed that Benjamin Franklin originated the concept of daylight saving time. But it wasn’t until the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that daylight saving time became standard across the country. Initially, this proclaimed that clocks would advance one hour at two a.m. on the last Sunday in April and turn back one hour at two a.m. on the last Sunday in October. During the past few decades, daylight saving time has evolved. It begins at two a.m. during the second Sunday in March and ends at two a.m. during November’s first Sunday. Some say the change is intended to give children more daylight to trick or treat. While “falling back” (supposedly) isn’t as exhausting as “springing forward,” it’s not...

 Companies have done a substantial amount of talking over the last 18 months about the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Now their promises about hiring to reflect the population are becoming due, and leaders are getting nervous about their diversity theater being called out. Myths about a lack of qualified Black talent persist, even though they’re not true. And they have served as an excuse for the leaders of large corporations to continue talking about how hard it is to diversify their workforce.  PauseUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI The good news is that delivering DEI doesn’t have to be a Kabuki dance. When leadership gets serious about it, the tools and methods are academically proven and risk-managed, and I should know.

 From 2007 to 2011, I dipped my toes in remote culture, both out of necessity and for success. My work required engaging with developers in the United States, Canada, Russia, France, China and other countries. Remote culture enabled us to build meaningful products faster and smarter than others. When I launched Quantum Metric as CEO in 2015, advances in video conferencing and shared collaboration tools made it even easier for teams to work across time zones and geographies. It seemed natural to build a new company using a hybrid team that was “remote-first,” taking advantage of finding the world's best talent. Sure, we had our headquarters in Colorado Springs, with satellite offices in Denver, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C, but it was never a requirement that employees come to the office. Most of our employees were remote before 2020, a trend that will continue long after the pandemic ends and one that has proven to be wildly successful. As the world navigates through the effects...

 When I interview entrepreneurs and ask them about why they do the work they do, they typically give me a carefully curated “I help” sentence that sounds something like this: “So that I can help [insert audience] create [insert results].” PlayUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI  Skip Ad It ends there, and even though this sounds good in theory, I’m still left waiting for the answer to the question I asked.
