Took small position in MCD. Mad Cow and currency headwinds are declining [both have badly hurt results in Europe and Japan] and mystery shopper program should improve customer experience [It worked for Darden]. Selling at 20% discount to S&P is was a recent Bill Nygren pick.

Brendan, I like PB here as a surrogate for KO.

Message 14757167

One problem with PB vis-a-vis KO is that PB is geographically limited. Of more concern, KO can up its profits by charging bottlers (PB) more for syrup. Can be good for KO, not good for bottlers.
