when you become spoiled by market going up everyday, even one point drop in DOW is called a "PLUNGE" !!

I really enjoy ready different comments. I believe the main danger point is when EPS is goes close to or below dividend rate. Now the Q dividend is 0.85. If the EPS goes to 0.85+0.1x 0.85 =0.94 cents per share or lower, that is the alarming point.

I expect the sell should accelerate by close and DOW will be down over 400 points.

MCD should drop below 94.5 by today close. If it does, check out the chart, tt hits one of the main thresholds to go much lower.

I also used "May" in the title of my thread. Although I believe it is very likely. in 1999, AAPL was a miserable stock and if you told anyone that AAPL will be added to DOW in 15 years, you would get a slap on your face. Bre-X Mineral the biggest gold company in the world died in 2 weeks in 1997...

The best idea that MCD has come up so far is to make a burger with dozens of meat patties. Check out the hidden menu that was posted in this thread. It is ridiculous and disgusting.

Even I did not carefully read the news. It says sales are down 30% (in Japan). That means one third of sales. that is terrible. "Q1 comparable-store sales fell just over 30% for the beleaguered restaurant chain."

This is a link to an article that is talking about what I said in one of my earlier posts that Teens would rather to go to Starbucks and have a drink than have a fries in McDonald...

Exactly and the royalty fee depends on the sales of each franchisee and it has been down in the last 6 quarter. But to give credit to your theory, when Herbalife can still exist and its stock be over $40, maybe MCD can stay longer but don't rule out the possibility that big businesses can come...

I don't believe your comparison makes sense. Pizza Hut and Coca Cola have differenciated themselves in the market (I believe and I am not following them though) but MCD after being a successful cheap restaurant which was the favorite of adults and kids, now is out of favor and is all over the...

Only less than 10% (that is what I have heard) of MCD restaurants is owned by the company. The rest is privately owned.

I said after 4 years. Assume 4 years of bad results and getting out of favor. Big companies when they don't do well, they create big losses.

after 4 years they can be bought at $10 per share by a rival and be renamed

Quality of food : very bad Price: Not cheap Competition: a lot of better restaurants for healthy and junk food lovers. The down trend for MCD has started a while ago and it seems that new CEO is not the solution. Fighting with Taco Bell is not a solution. Now the news is that franchisees are...

INTC EPS for this Q was 0.41 . If you multiply it by 4 it is about $1.60 per year. Based on $32 price its P/E is 20 !!. Actually usually its P/E is between 10 to 16. Even if we consider 16 in our calculations, it should be around $26.25. Tomorrow INTC will be below $30. I promise. Note : I know...

Just an observation. I have been trading since 1995 and I have not seeing a crazy market as it is now. Very irrational. Worse than 2000, worse than 2008. I am not talking about being bullish or bearish. This is the only time that everyone (government, investors, analysts, FED all see some kind...

If you add the inflation that you noticed in your takeout and average with lower price in copper, the inflation will be zero :) Always there is something that Fed can average it with real expenses to show inflation is zero. If price of beef goes up, they can average it with the price of a 40...

The way the analysts value companies like Tesla is like this: 1-We have over 7 billion people on earth 2- In 20 years it might go up to 9 billion !! so for simplicity we assume 10 billion 3- All countries like China, India are growing and everyone will need a car and will need an energy...

Don't you think that you are in denial as longs were in the last 4 years?
