MCD being green might be a sign where to seek further employment

I think I was in cash and then moved into jnj and MCD in 2009 and did well. But avoiding that big crash at the beginning is the hard part.

i went back and forth on DNUT back during the MCD deal. I finally had a clear thought "they are a struggling donut company...in America" and pulled them off my watchlist.

Yeah, but closed Wendy's means lower traffic. We'll need new dumpsters at a better location. Calls on MCD!

They cant compete with MCD and Chic Fila.

MCD is not cheaper. Have you seen mcchickens are like $3 now?

I think the Wendy’s press release tricked AI. Beat street revenue expectations. Stock jumped in pre market and at open. Now it’s falling fast. Declining consumer. Declining in-store traffic. A crowded market. Wendy’s is getting squeezed by price pressure on both sides. MCD is cheaper. And casual dining restaurants like Chili’s and Red Robin now have ‘value’ deals that match Wendy’s on price. Anything more than cursory headline analysis says WEN is cooked. Fundamentally. Maybe charts tell you something else. Wendy’s might be up today but their business is still a long way from healthy.

SmoresPies

Wild that WEN (great food) is down 70% over 3 years. And MCD (poison grease slop) is still at its peak

No-Improvement3164

MCD giving us the value meal deals but every thing is half the size including the napkins and ice cubes.

Remote_Ad_6049

$DASH, $MCD, $CMG, and others are all reporting decrease in consumer demand. Government shut down is dragging on and other factors are impacting the consumers ability to spend. What makes you think Kristy Kreme will be better positioned?

starlordbg

In Bulgaria it's even more insane for the stuff I like to get like cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, fries and such and can cost me like 20euro or so and havent gotten anything from MCD in over 3 years now. Makes no sense especially when there are better local even corporate alternatives or quality street food vendors right next to a Mcdonalds store.

HeckleHelix

You regards missed the big green easy candle on $MCD today. $WMT will be next

btoned

JFC stop buying from this overpriced garbage my God. If an AVERAGE person tried selling the garbage MCD sells on a daily basis they would get laughed at and shot down. The food is terrible; you want to mimic McDonald's at home? Cover your ground beef in salt and corn syrup lmao. But they'll soar again next quarter for sure let's be real.

captainstrange94

I paid $9 for take out lunch at a mexican restaurant yesterday. There's way better options for your money than the fake processed shit MCD spews. Meanwhile, MCD executives get jerked off by management consulting firm recommendations to raise prices and hope people don't notice it.

NVO is dipping and MCD is ripping.  No one likes abs anymore

MCD and AMD both flat wake up and cut your losses

BuyNo1645

what stock/etf did you pick? It usually won't end well on stocks that fluctuate a lot, or leveraged etfs. KO, COST, MCD, or just do SPY, QQQ

Objective_Back_2581

I forgot about MCD earnings damn it calls on fat people to

FerrumBalls

33% more expensive is about right. Cost-wise, CMG is closer to MCD than CAVA. I think Cava's food is great, but 33% is a different price point. CAVA could be in for a couple more rough quarters.

WakeningAbyss

Good defense stocks if you're bearish: COST WMT V MA KO MCD

Syllabub_Visual

$MCD puts after that chipotle crash last week. Easy money. No BS

Syllabub_Visual

Spy 0dtes for the most part and maybe 1-2 earnings (likely $OPEN and maybbbeee $SHOP, might also do $MCD as well because of chipotle), but mostly spy. With spy, plan to use both webull and robinhood so I get 2 days of 3 day trades each week (can do an instant debit card transfer between each), plus 3 other days of 1 trade, so that’s a total of 9 trades. Will be aiming for at least a 15-20% return from each spy trade and hopefully 1-2 30-50% returns (plan to sell immediately if the gain goes below 10% so that I don’t end up in the red). That should hopefully get me back to 5-10k within the next 2 weeks.

Syllabub_Visual

Call me crazy, but feeling $MCD puts after the chipotle crash last week

Crazy_Donkies

I bet Monopoly gives them a boost this quarter.  Careful.  It got my family there once, and we rarely eat MCD over other options.   May be projecting, however, and you're right to assume prices are too high.  They're ridiculous. 

ShadyPotatoTrader

Puts on MCD since they have clearly been worried about nobody buys there overpriced shit

FieryXJoe

I have 12% in handpicked international ETFs, 8% in gold, 20% in defensive stocks(BRK.B, VZ, UNH, MCD, JPM). The other 60% is mostly tech and I am starting to pile up some cash.

Individual-Motor-167

Correction. There is no China deal. There are still extremely high tariffs on the others. Fed can loosen up all it wants. If the job economy is that far gone, we've been in a recession then for at least 2 quarters. Msft reporting 3 billion in profit losses because of LLMs is a warning call. Treasuries are not supposed to go up when fomc cuts. Biggest sentiment this week will be the earnings. You got probably the best news you will hear last week. We could rally if they all at least beat. I just can't imagine guidance being good across the board. MCD and AMD, a bunch of massively overpriced stocks like pltr. Sandisk notable due to memory costs doubling in a few months.

Saw an add for a "McVeggie". Puts on MCD.

PracticalAnywhere225

I am thinking a quick flip on MCD calls. I am pretty sure they did well this quarter.

stickman07738

Four of the 5 Burger Kings within 10 miles of my home have closed. Only 2 McD and 2 Wendy's now - both always crowded. MCD is kicked BKs butt.

DesignerSea494

If it helps, I’ve been stuck in the MCD drive through line for 20 minutes now, and the WEN dumpster blowjobs have been sub-par at best lately.

I sold my MCD puts early bc they were ITM today. I eat McDonalds really often and noticed the app deals getting shit, and instead of giving me a handful of ketchup packets, multiple different chains only gave me 1 packet so I suspected they were doing poorly.

penultimateinsight

Food stamps stopped because of shutdown. People so squeezed by rising prices they're relying on MCD Monopoly to survive. >With a government shutdown that's left people without pay, ceased SNAP benefits, and the rising cost of groceries in general, Americans are having a tough time. One way that some people are coping with this hardship is McDonald's and its Monopoly promotion, where customers can redeem codes in the app in exchange for food and prizes. The problem is, people are desperate enough right now that they're willing to do anything to exploit the promotional game, and it's driving both customers and workers alike to the brink. >"u just fed me and my bf living in our car thank u," reads one top reply on the video, which calls app redemption the "free-to-play" version of McDonald's Monopoly. >"Being able to eat something while having no money is so..rare," reads one [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/McDonalds/comments/1oibl74/im_not_gonna_lie_this_monopoly_sht_has_been_a/), which calls the Monopoly game a lifesaver. "I've been dead broke for the past month, and while I do have a job, I won't get paid for another week." But yea AI and NVDA is fucking amazing right tech bros? We're so blessed that it's delivering on all its promises and hype totally. Oh I see, you need another 2% rate cut and government contracts then we'll see the benefit.

HeckleHelix

This is why I'm bullish on $MCD: people with no key still want a taste of normalcy & will go to $MCD. Those who had more money & went to $CMG will now go to $MCD. All aboard the McRocket 🚀

HeckleHelix

You would be better off slow swing trading $MCD & collecting some dividends. Don't get crazy with what little money you have

Could NVDA collab with MCD next

tripstermcgee808

BREAKING: NVDA partners with TLRY to grow ‘super dank’ using AI, or whatever. Project will be primarily funded through investment from MCD, which expects increased revenue growth. MCD will also leverage 1 billion blackwell chips to create animatronic Hamburglers and replace all remaining restaurant staff, who will instead be used for nugget paste Soilent Green style.

Oh so we should simply buy MCD stock then, got it. Margins should really be good.

Gonna need an OpenAI partnership with MCD to bring back the Arch Deluxe

redditaccount1975

4 times this year I have been assigned, between 1 and 7 days BEFORE expiration when the short put leg of a spread was ITM. The stocks were DLTR, MCD, NTFLX and UNH. Will choosing stocks with higher volume/liquidity help? I dont see how I can continue using any strategy containing short puts. I dont understand why the broker doesnt just close the protection leg at the same time. Can I ask for that? Sometimes ICs or Butterflys dont become profitable until the day of expiration. Do I have to close or roll short puts as soon as they go ITM? Whats everyone else doing?

Charming_Raccoon4361

Forget about MCD, I was trying to draw a contrast between a clown and hyperscaler. So many other stocks would have done better than AMZN. But this stock has been pumped so much on reddit,X and youtube and still have underperformed all these years, including this year. It could go up another 20% and still underperforms the index.

Charming_Raccoon4361

what odds ? to outperform against MCD/clown or VOO. It better beat the clown.

Charming_Raccoon4361

Your first sentence says otherwise or was not clear. I just use gemini to calculate the dividend return of MCD thats about it. People blindly picks stocks based on name recognition and hype and ignore evaluations. You just did not like my 5 year take which is a very common time frame.

Charming_Raccoon4361

this year has not been good either, and we are in middle of biggest AI boom. And i compared it against MCD, a clowny stock.

Charming_Raccoon4361

I was not trying to say MCD is better, i picked the clowniest stock to compare against AMZN. like you said  evaluations matters. that was kind of my point.

Charming_Raccoon4361

I picked MCD on purpose. MCD very mature company, no moat, hires minimum wage workers with little growth. Whereas AMZN hires very educated people and has double digit growth in AWS. I picked 5 years since its very a common time frame. I was not trying to say MCD is better than AMZN in terms of cash flow or growth. Its just funny alot of stocks outperform AMZN is this time frame. I guess evaluations matters. AMZN "can" grow another 20% from here but YTD is also -3%

OP if it makes you feel any better I lost 90% of my wealth in 2008-2009. I was in high school and saved $13k from selling candy and having part time jobs. I invested into two stocks ACAS - American Capital Strategies a mezzanine financing company that lended money to various small/midsized businesses (roughly $10-$100 million in assets) and based out of Bethesda Maryland and EXM - Excel Maritime Carriers a dry bulk ocean shipping company based out of Greece (the country). Both proceeded to shit the bed. You have to diversify and buy lots of different companies. Maybe try buying SPY. If not you have to start investing for the long term into some safer companies like: CAT, CSX, ORCL, BX, MCD. Here are a few more: MSFT, XOM, PEP, BK, and RSG. Good luck, you can recover from your losses. If nothing else, just buy SPY (the entire S&P 500), and never sell, no matter what. Set it to dividend reinvest.

MrLeaps

The purchase i saw for ref https://financhle.com/company/MCD/options/O:MCD251017C00302500 if you change the date selector on the top-right above the chart from “Today” to “Oct 6” there was a $70k buy at 11:49am and on Oct 7 there was was a $42k buy at 11:14am

I have been investing in the stock market for about 30 years and as you can imagine, I have accumulated many shares of stocks. I have mainly bought and held Dividend Aristocrats. Some of my big stock positions include ABBV(3700 shares), MCD(2550 shares) MO(7400 shares). I have begun selling covered calls on the stocks that I own. If my stocks were to be assigned, I would be subjected to hefty capital gains taxes. So, I have written covered calls that are out of the money with about 2-4 weeks time to expiration., to lower my risk of getting assigned. The premiums are anemic but my goal is to earn about $1,000 every two weeks on my positions. Am I expecting too much? Is my strategy correct?

PandoraBot

Well they're working for MCD because they didn't graduate high school, maybe even middle school

Across my portfolios: ADC, APLD, DUK, GIS, IAU, MCD, MO, PEP, SLV, SO were up over 1% and several over 2%.

In canada we dont have that many options, so in my place it is always busy as hell if even though the price and quality is not good. Also, MCD does not go down that much but does not up alot either

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

MCD in the gutter 

rackoblack

In retirement, for one. But for us, along the way there were a few holdings that remained solid companies that became large positions for us. We'd trim the positions a little at some ATHs (more likely if it dipped down to two stars on Morningstar). Then later if it dipped again and especially if it hit four stars, I'd buy some back. Doing this in IRAs makes it easy to ignore wash sales, not so in taxable accounts. These included MCD and MO. But it was the exception, not the rule.
