And MCD real assets are the properties from which each franchise operates. The day MCD starts selling any of these , even one of these, then yep there will be evidence of troubles coming.
Some investors are jumping into utilities and dividend paying stocks as safe heaven. The reason that MCD has not dropped with the market is just that. Believe me the drop will happen but just with a short lag. Once things go down more, MCD will snap harder. Ex dividend date is Aug 28 so some dividend chasers are buying it before dividend (which is a big mistake). Once the dividend is paid, it will drop more than the dividend. By the way even if MCD comes up with an improving Q { that I am sure it will not happen}, the stock will drop { sell after the news} and will surprise the stock holders.
Do you have any proof that anything good is happening to MCD or they are just dreams and wishes? I see proof of bad news every day. Here is one: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mcdonalds-grilled-over-labor-tax-014850733.html
I hope you guys see and read these news. First comes the news and after a while, there will be a big drop and you will ask why ? then you need to go back and read the news. http://fortune.com/2015/08/20/cleveland-clinic-removes-mcdonalds/?xid=yahoo_fortune
Mmm. I'm lovin it. I occasionally pop into a MacD if there is no alternative, its marginally better than not eating imo. It's mainly kids in there spending pocket money. There is definitely some sort of obesity awakening going on. Longer term macd has surely got to come under pressure unless they reinvent themselves to a mchealthy type style. The brand may be too toxic to adapt though.
Can you tell us more about your wishes and dreams of gloom and doom mindset? Nowdays it is becoming too easy to read mindsets! As if they've been programmed from birth about a gloom and doom mindset!!! And worse: they feel like it is their calling to advertise this type of mindset! Yawn!!!
Very true. Patience is the virtue. Rome was not built in one night. I shorted ADI at 65 to 68 and now I am buying it. I have a big patience and long term vision.
hajimow, Not trying to give you a hard time but seems like you have been very negative on MCD since Dec. 2012 when MCD was at about $90. Since then it went below $90 only once? If you shorted MCD all these times and made money, I like to learn from you. Appreciate any words of wisdom you can offer. I do eat at MCD once in a while and my impression visiting the stores is that there are some improvements in service and food quality lately. I like their breakfast menu and believe their business will improve if they go 24/7 with breakfast. Regards,
