McDonalds hit an all time high today and if you look at the 20 year chart the stock price of MCD has gone up by 990.52%. Not many other companies can compare to this over a 20 year period. Not many other companies have a business model that allows for teenagers to run the show. The goal is to have more restaurants in China then they have in the US today so steady as she goes. CNBC had a great show on McDonalds recently and the marketing/pr for that company is nothing short of brilliant.

Biggest owner of real estate in the world......besides that they are everywhere why do you or don't you go? Is it the old classics (burger/fries) or the "healthy choices" or did the coffee get to you? convenient, cheap, reliable, there are many reasons.... Besides Walmart I have yet to see a company offers up so much love for some and hate for others. The love is winning in the long run.....you lovin it?
If you don't love the food, at least love the stock
