Famous brand with some pricing power, although less than luxury brands.

GLP-1 drugs are headwinds, but real estate is an asset; stock okay sub-220 but not a premium buy

Long-term call options trade (280 strike, June 2027) to capitalize on McDonald's drawdown and historical recovery, strong company with consistent dividend growth, risk/reward favorable with stop near $260 and target $300+.

Double bottom at $264, touching long-term trend line from 2022; potential rotation into defensive stocks.

Exploded 4% on Friday; long-term uptrend tested with V-shaped recovery potential; shares safer, but call options for swings.

Boring but works — no drama, reliable compounder.

Listed among 15 stocks approaching intrinsic value (6-9% return range). Paul will give deeper look if prices fall further in a correction.

Double bottom forming precisely at $272. Risk-reward is favorable with stop under recent low and target at $298-$300 resistance. Boring defensive stock that could benefit from safety rotation during market turbulence. Had a positive day on Friday while broader market fell.

Host says he would not want to own McDonald's, citing a long-term societal shift toward healthy eating driven by social media. He believes unhealthy food companies will underperform and mentions he'd short the industry if he could.

McDonald's is at all-time highs. In 2008, McDonald's was up 9% including dividends. Consumer staples are recession-proof with pricing power.
