The Problem With McDonald's...

Take Me to the Live Show

Good morning:

McDonald’s just reported its worst same-store sales in the last five years.

The company blamed a 3.6% drop thanks to bad weather and a more cautious consumer about finances.

This is a pretty significant event - given that we’re facing economic stress. Shares are down 2.1% at the time of this writing. So… what should you do as a trader?

I’ll walk you through two critical things today - how to trade it TODAY… and how to address it over the long term. This is your MBA (with a side of fries)…

All you have to do is join me at 8:45 ET. Click the link here…

I won’t just be talking FRIES… I’ll also walk you through…

What Makes Them Tick?

Today, I’m going to walk you through the key terms you need to hear when it comes to companies… as a financial journalist by trade, I can tell you everything that the media does wrong when it comes to reporting business news…

I’ll walk you through the specific things that make McDonald’s and Microsoft stocks rise and fall… when it comes to headlines.

Momentum Is Green

What a headfake yesterday. After a paralyzing open, markets rebounded over the last six hours of trading. It was a perfect day for VWAP trading - and markets are again detached from economic reality.

There’s been a quiet shift in leadership this week—one that might flip the script on how we trade through May. Blake’s walking through the strategy in a special session later today.

What sectors do we need to be trading today?

The 20-day moving average will give us a great watch list… and I’ll give it away for free this morning… just join me to see the show.

Slingshot Stocks and Value Momentum

As always, I’m keeping my focus on great stocks with quality and value metrics…

Today, we’ll walk through the names that can keep rallying in this environment - and have a lot of safety in their valuations. Thing is… I don’t put this list in this email.

So you have to join me today… you have to be in the room…

And you have to be ready to make some money as we rotate into May.

And if you want to hear how one trader is actually navigating this market with a green year-to-date return, there’s a short strategy session this afternoon you’ll want on your radar.

I’ll be live in 30 minutes.

Be there…

P.S. If you’ve been feeling the shift in this market but haven’t quite figured out where it’s heading — you’re not alone. Blake’s the one guy I know who’s actually beating this tape right now, and he’s hosting a deep-dive this afternoon on what’s working, what’s not, and where the money’s likely headed next. If you’re serious about staying a step ahead this May, I’d make time for this one. You can add it to your calendar [right here].
