Mcdonalds Stock

McDonalds(MCD) stock has just gone through a little correcting phase in the last few weeks. It's around 10% of it's all time high. Still love the company long term and the dividend is a very attractive over 3%. They will raise it every year like their history has shown so this one keeps up with inflation easily. The company is still growing and should continue to do so. Long term buy and hold for ever! Tony

McDonalds (MCD)

Update to my Black friday predictions. Retail sales were strong and the fast food stocks, MCD in particular benefited from them big time. Look for really strong sales numbers from MCD this quarter! For one the McRibs coup worked like a charm. I know people that went to McDonalds 10 times in the last 6 weeks just to get the "
Limited" time only McRibs. Not only that but they have been doing less discounting so look for higher profit margins also. I would thing $100 a share within 6 months easily. Also look for another dividend raise in the 3rd quarter of 2011. Got to love that! Happy Investing. Tony

P.S. - The reverse is trends at Burger King, really bad! They are discounting but still losing market share to MCD and WEN. Stay away from them for sure.

Black Friday

I beleive we are in for a huge black friday for retail sales this year. As a result the fast food stocks should get a nice revenue boost also. While people are out shopping they need to eat and grabbing something quick fits in with this perfectly. Mcdonalds(MCD) and Wendys(WEN) should both benefit from this trend. I still love both of these stocks short term and long. Happy ThanksGiving and good luck investing. Tony

Wendys Revistied

I am liking my Wendys(WEN) pick more and more these days. They raised their dividend and increased their buy back program. Not only that but they are going to make another attempt at getting some of the really profitable breakfast business away from the big boys, McDonalds and Burger King. Also I have noticed the stores in my area, northern Bergen County, have been getting busier. I expect next quarter to be better than everyone thinks. Good luck investing. Tony

Wendys Stock

Wendys(WEN) is on the rise again. It's almost at $5 a share. They just raised their dividend by 33% and announced another share buy back. I like it big time! Long and short term buy this one and reep the benifits. Happy investing. Tony

So Far So Good

Wendys(WEN) is making a nice comeback. Everything is on track for $6.50 a share within 2 years. It may move faster if a take out offer is made. Also you will collect around a 1.5% dividend in while you wait. Happy investing. Tony

I Told You So.

I hate to say those words but Wendy's(WEN)is starting to move finally. Up today over 6% on 5 times the normal volume. Still not too late to get in on this one. I think $6.5 a share within 2 years is easily possible. Happy Investing. Tony
