    To my surprise I was at a MCD and they had a really cheap full menu - even in expensive Switzerland CHF 8.10. No wonder the rest of the industry is tanking

    MCD will not die. You can't kill this monster. When street musicians from NYC go on about it? Golden! (Arches and fries, etc. :) )

    You are crazier than I thought!
    The funny thing is that eventually MCD can be a good short now, or at least a take profit, and you are bull ?! Crazy

    No I do not have any position on MCD. I will not touch it either. It has been a while that I am a big fan of SBUX. I am bearish on 95% of the stocks.

    Ok, why not, on a ST basis.
    For once, I agree with you. Strange !

    Let's say I wanted to short MCD, I would sell MCD 170 Call to collect premium and have enough buffer. I do not short the stock outright. I start with option trade. I do not buy any option. I just sell.

    Oh I realized I did not answer your question. The answer is for no reason. Now I am not concentrating on MCD. There are tons of stocks good to short. Here are my positions:
    Short: CAT, COST, ADI, AMZN, AAPL, HD
    Long : SBUX, GLD, VZ

    Selling MCD puts? How do you hedge in case you are wrong?

    McDonald’s workers plan to strike for sexual harassment policy reform
    [​IMG]
    McDonald’s employees across the country have planned a one-day strike in hopes of forcing management to take stronger steps against sexual harassment, the Associated Press reports. The walkout will begin at lunchtime on September 18, and will affect franchises in 10 U.S. cities: Chicago; Durham, North Carolina; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Los Angeles; Miami; Milwaukee; New Orleans; Orlando; and San Francisco. Organizers say this will be the first multi-state strike in the U.S. targeting sexual harassment in the workplace. (Fortune)
