Zach, The rumor is that Buffett is trying the buffet at the local Chinese restaurant and dumping his HUGE MCD position. The rumor is also that he is near the end. I credit the first part with near fact. The second part, I have no idea on, as Warren rarely calls me any more since I said he did a lousy acting job on All My Children.

In general, I hate restaurants and usually find that puts purchased on them nearly always pay off. MCD is the exception. They have a death grip, metaphorically and probably literally, on the children of this country. I remember one of my nephews, when he was learning how to talk, one of his first words was "Donald's."

The problem I have with Big Mac is, where the heck don't we already have one? They keep on finding new places, so I guess they know the locations. But it seems like someday they have to run out of viable locations. However, it also seems that that day is still pretty far off in the future.

I think it may be good for a healthy pop.
