The rational for the rumored spinoff given on cnbc is that it would allow the management to focus its stated emphasis of improving the MCD core business. But the possibility of a separate Chipotles is not Cramer's rational; it is for the enhanced growth prospects that it would give McDonalds. Nor do I know if Cramers call is a good one either. I bought it on his rec. and then sold when a second mad cow disease (intials mcd) possibility was discovered(later found false). The problem is still there(could be alot of denial and/or coverup going on). Also affecting the price of MCD stock is the price of the dollar because it gets alot of foreign earnings. Agree that Cramers stimulating approach makes him worth watching, at least occassionally. Bogtalk
