McRib is gross. I had it once. MCD puts.
I also misscalculated the timing tbf. I bought into defensive (KO,PEP,MCD. But you could also say WMT, PG, BRKB, healthcare..) in mid September. If I just waited a bit more, all these stonks bottomed on last day of September. Probably has something to do with "window dressing". Then I was convinced high beta/AI was too risky and got into these.
This sub was on a real roll last year, but now it's been chasing tech stocks on the way down while energy stocks have gone vertical. Pretty sure most of reddit missed the flight to quality too as even ValueInvesting was making fun of people going in on MCD, WMT, and others.
Since the end goal is owning the shares cheaper, there's one more route worth comparing: plain cash-secured puts. That's how I've gone after quality stocks since I started wheeling in April 2025. On a blue chip near its lows, I sell a put around 0.15 to 0.25 delta, 21 to 60 days out, at a strike I'd be happy to pay. Round numbers: a $150 put sold for $3 means if I get assigned, my real cost is $147. If I don't, I keep the $3 and sell another. No LEAP extrinsic to protect, and no big exercise bill at the end, because the cash is already set aside. Once assigned, I only sell calls at or above that real cost, which is the amortization idea you described. The tradeoff is capital. One contract at a $150 strike ties up $15,000, which is why I keep it to one contract per stock. It also doesn't protect you from a falling stock. I got assigned MCD at $285 and it's been sitting near $248, so I'm holding and waiting. Good luck with WMT and BAC
Depending on the stock, some of those could be good buys! MCD, APP, NVDA... if you're starting to dca into them and that's a 10%-20% start, i'd say not bad at all.
Have you ever had the mcrib. I promise you that unless you regularly eat MCD quality food, it wont impress you. Go on, buy a piece of microwaves sponge slathered in low quality barbecue sauce and sat between 2 pieces of stale bread warmed up on a warming tray
If you don’t know your entries, learn to cut losses on time and taking profits at the same time. Look at what happens on these stocks: $MCD $SOUN,$CRWV $RKLB $CLSK $RIVN $MARA $OPEN and bunch of others. It’s not fun seeing your portfolio down huge. Unless you enough time to keep holding them. Some will recover, some will not.
You turds should have been in HD, MCD and AXP. Still time for BA.
Best move I made so far is to sell 1/3 of my AMD at $615, save some of the proceeds in my HYSA for taxes and expenses in the upcoming year, and put the rest all in ELF, CELH, MCD, AXP this year lol those stocks are doing well. I also put some in TQQQ and that's down, but I can hold that. And I believe AMD still has a long way to go, so holding it until $800 at least.
I do and then I sell too early. For instance in my 401k I bought like 300 shares of MCD at the lows and was going to sell at 250 because that's what the chart said was a probable bounce level but ended up panic selling at 245 instead like last week lol
MCD and WMT are breaking up...why not make a trade and hope the trend continues

COP or PSX, V, BUG (I guess it's tech but not memory or chips), and RCL... MCD once they figure shit out
Good point that it has to be a deliberate decision, that's the part I skipped for way too long. The INTC versus MCD comparison is a nice way to think about it. I'm going to paper trade a calendar through one print just to see how it behaves. Do you size jade lizards smaller around earnings than your normal ones?
Hey Claude, write me a funny MCD DD. Make it look like like a real, illiterate person wrote it
you right, i was raised on 0.39 burgers on wednesdays at $MCD
It really depends, but it has to be a deliberate decision. When it comes to managing the portfolio and regular positions, the so-called core of the portfolio, e.g. the classic 45 DTE strangle, I'd be rather careful. It depends a lot on the underlying and how violently it tends to move. Holding a strangle on INTC is a different risk than holding one on MCD. Bottom line, the risk has to be deliberate and balanced. That's how I do it. If you mean trading the earnings themselves: jade lizards work really well for me, and they also let you play the skew. I'd also recommend calendars. Both of these structures actually benefit from the IV crush that burned you on long calls. Some people use calendarized ratios too and it works for them. In general the strategy itself is secondary. What matters more is choosing positions and strikes so that you deliberately pick the option price, the direction, and manage tail risk. As for hedging through earnings, yes, a lot of traders do it, the same way some hedge positions just over the weekend or overnight. Even with naked positions, they hedge by adding extra positions or buying legs.
What the f*ck is wrong with fatmericans??? Are you tired of winning or does MCD dont have diet Coke?!
I wouldn't touch it. On the weekly, the 50MA is about to cross the 180MA. All hell's gonna break loose when that happens. BUT!! MCD is also in its correction phase using the Elliott Wave. Looks like it just hit the bottom of its A correction.
I got scammed from this MCD's monopoly shit. Apparently I won a free food item but couldn't find it in the rewards session, that was like 10 days ago. :screech:
MCD is trash. They are spending 8.5 Billion on trash no one wants. They have high traffic and sales volumes right now because of all the deals they are running $6,7,9 combos and deals in the app but that is all on very low margin items and no one is buying their high margin ”premium” crap. MCD’s only hope for a turnaround is to go back to the high volume lower margin business model that made them so successful in the past, but shareholders hate low margins so that will never happen. And the death spiral will continue
On a more realistic note. I'm loading up on some MCD. Theyre getting hammered but I do think it's possible to turn it around with the correct leadership changes.
I guess it really is always calls, my TLT/PEP/KO/MCD calls printed big this week LMAO🤌 long bonds short QQQ too easy. Next week buy back in tech. Just be reasonable dude, no need to call this "tImE tHe MaRkEt!!", just dont be regarded perma bol

MCD waaay too expensive now!
Pure value plays like MCD are traps right now because 11% of U.S. adults currently take GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Even Pepsi is going to start to feel the pain when obesity is cured. Reminds me of alcohol sales. America’s Heaviest Drinkers Consume Almost 60% of All Alcohol Sold [https://www.newsweek.com/americas-heaviest-drinkers-consume-almost-60-all-alcohol-sold-1520284](https://www.newsweek.com/americas-heaviest-drinkers-consume-almost-60-all-alcohol-sold-1520284) I imagine the numbers are similar for junk food and fast food services. I am up over 50% on my LLY to capture this but don't want to add any more. Maybe I should.
2008 was a subprime mortgage crisis where MCD was a safe haven, and 2020 was a 2-month covid shock bailed out by stimulus. i’m comparing structural, rate-driven, high-multiple inflation regimes (1973, 2000, 2026) where consumer purchasing power actually dies. context matters
Taking your thesis at face value, any big-picture macro signal is somewhat invalidated by MCD failing to break down during the Great Recession.
Just looked at MCD on my app and this chart doesnt look wrong for now
because mcdonald's has historically always been the canary in the coal mine that drops *first*. in previous cycles, MCD broke down while the rest of the market was still partying, and the broad market crash happened *after*. when the most stable consumer giant gives way under high rates and oil pressures, it's the ultimate lead indicator before the lag effect hits everything else.
that's literally just a fast liquidity dip like covid. the difference is that covid was artificially bailed out with historic monetary stimulus and 0% interest rates. when a stock like MCD breaks key support under high rates, persistent inflation, and real consumer contraction, there's no magic money printer to pump it right back up like in 2020.
i’m just exploring macro correlations and sharing thoughts — isn't that literally what reddit is for? nobody is claiming to predict the exact future, but when a fundamental consumer proxy like MCD breaks a multi-decade trendline for only the third time in 50 years, the historical overlaps in inflation, interest rates, and tech concentration are pretty hard to ignore. things just align whether we like it or not.
You aren't going to chart all the other absolutely fucking horrible things that have happened sinxe the dotcom crash relative to MCD? You're making the chart fit a narrative.
I am always up 10% at open but then MMs remember they can't let me win. I am looking at you MCD and RDDT (2.5%,2.5% -> flat,flat lol)
I have no position in or against MCD. The “reviewers” are not the children eating the food. Efficiency doesn’t save a company losing cultural relevance.
Mr Beast burger scores below McDonalds by reviewers so I don’t see where you are getting the MCD is losing market share to them. Add to that the fact that McDonald’s is relentless in improving efficiency it’s an obviously buy. You are welcome to your theory, let’s see your short position to show how much conviction you have. I am long 91 shares and buying at this price.
My thesis is this is an MCD post which is correct do some research
What is your thesis that MCD has the same kinds of accounting fraud that Enron was guilty of?
I am comparing a company and another company, both of which are/were underpriced. You thesis on MCD is incorrect.

If you’re not stupid you can earn it back. Just buy steady stocks like MCD, SYK, DPZ, etc. It will take some time but let them ride it out and eventually you might get back to where you were. If you gamble on more options you’ll just burn your capital.

Big MCD news coming soon. They are merging/buying BK.
Not quite sure that’s a good analogy….maybe comparing Darden or Cava who make money off mostly food sales vs a MCD who has corp stores they get food sales from, as well as franchisee royalties and real estate income while being in the same industry is closer? He also didn’t ask for a BDC. He asked if ARCC is a good stock. Both are high yielding dividend stocks that deploy capital into businesses - pretty similar to me. For the record I like ARCC and considered investing in it. I also know I am not as smart or as good as the Pelosi’s and if I was going to pick between the two, I’m following them.

It's not the same thing. And are you referring to AB-Lend? AB-Lend is a separate BDC entity where AB provides management services. AB makes money from manageement fees and acts like an external manager as described by u/MrBotANot 's comment in this thread. AB-Lend is pretty new and looks to probably generate about 2-4MM in revenue for AB. That's a small fraction of the 4-5Bn in annual revenue generated by AB. Look at it a different way - would you consider McDonald's a real estate company and consider it the same as a REIT because McDonald's derives 30% of their revenue from real estate holdings? If OP asked about an investment into a diversified REIT like O - would you consider MCD an equivalent investment?
I quit drinking till EOY, started going to the gym & hiking \~70k / week. Degenerate bet with a buddy that I'd sober up and get fit. Down 16lbs in the last 6 weeks... ain't no fucking way I'ma lose to him lol. Hungry all the time. Ordering MCD's thru doordash like twice a week.

Google... They launched their search engine in 1998, which etched the company into stone. Currently 4.3T market cap. It is a legend of a stock, but it's not a growth stock. It had it's day in the sun. Now it's just a safe space for the rich to park their money now to avoid taxes.... I can't understand why y'all play options on it, like it's (ironically) "the next Google" It IS Google! I don't see how it's any different than expecting McDonald's to just randomly skyrocket (albeit MCD is down big right now)
