$McDonald's(MCD)$ has returned to the levels I like. Typically $230-$250 been the entry price for this ticker. Since now this big giant has awaken about the pricing - which has gone from a cheap & fasteat to the crazy price in Connecticut - it's ready totake on a price war - something encouraging that steps are taken to re-establish its place as the King of fast food. Ok I will go with u in this as I believe in $McDonald's(MCD)$ - as history shows - people eat macdonalds when in recessions - and with the price coming off. Sales will slowly increase. Since $Coca-Cola(KO)$ is supporting them as per this article - that's a great cookie point! [Grin]
