Sorry, but there is a swing in this nation towards healthier living, and "Micky-D's" does not fit into that lifestyle. Not to mention the our Government is already talking about taxing certain "comfort foods" at the grocers to help bridge their ballooning healthcare costs... not a huge leap to move to doing the same with fast food. Short term you may still make some money so I would hold... but no way I would buy at this price.

Long term (next ten years) MCD will continue to move towards a healthier menu. Buy on dips. Dividends safe and growing.

There may be a larger swing on the coasts, but in middle America that swing isn't swinging much towards healthy. It is, just not enough to give up the salty fries and Big Mac.
