It may not have as much of an impact as you think.  Many companies like #Visa, #Mastercard and #Amex made a big PR splash saying they were cutting off Russia. But if you read the fine print, they simply were not letting people use Russian issued credit card in other countries. They will still work just find in Russia, which means this will have virtually no affect at all.

As for companies like #McDonalds and #Apple, Putin said he may simply nationalize those companies' stores and confiscate all their assets, and continue to run them with Russians in charge!

Yes, good times and bad, people always need food! Bullish on $MCD.

Restaurant brands offers $QSR has been benefitting from some of the same conditions that have benefitted McDonalds $MCD. The market has undervalued these companies for so long they forgot the money making potential in fast casual restaurant chains.

$MCD has a long way to go, but their healthier menus is a step in the right direction.

#McDonalds definitely does not deserve to be up 65% in two years and the idea of stock buybacks and passive investing being responsible for most of the gains is interesting. I am curious how far the stock will fall when the current bull market ends. $MCD

According to @[Tyler Durden](user:4802)'s article, $MCD and $DPZ are already doing it. #Domino's robot delivery men remind me of #Amazon's idea of using delivery drones.

I assume eating healthier would play a factor as well. Though $MCD has been trying to promote healthier offerings on their menu for a while now. But it will take a lot of marketing for Americans to equate #McDonalds with healthy!

I would have thought that the troubled economy would have sent the middle class to places like #McDonalds in droves. Why? Because they can no longer afford the more upscale restaurants they used to frequent, and/or as they work extra hours, or two part-time jobs, they no longer have time to cook themselves. $MCD.

@[Carol Wydra](user:7533), I agree completely. $DNKN needs to step it up. $MCD sales have skyrocketed since they began offering breakfast all day.

Look like @[Shazir Mucklai](user:5938) called $MCD a while ago. It's sales are soaring with a nearly 6% increase. Wish I had listen then but I am following you now.
