Earnings Monday: MCD

I'm loving it!  The all-day breakfast menu, the 2 for $3 or 2 for $5 dollar menu has McDonald's crushing earnings.  At least that is what the news is saying.

I got in late last week, mainly because my family eats out a lot and because CMG crushed it last week.  I picked up 3 MCD 155 calls expiring 5/04 on the cheap last week for about $5.40.  I call this cheap because compared to my AMZN last week, this is peanuts.




Today, MCD was up close to 6% ($9+).  I sold it around noon and made about 5.70 per contract.  Not bad considering I held it for less than a week.



SPY was up in the morning but closed negative.  We are entering a very tight range and it can go either way.  We shall see as the rest of earnings and May comes along.

In any case, be very careful and happy investing!
