Dog of the Dow #10: McDonald's (MCD)

Filed under: McDonald's (MCD), Stocks to Sell


McDonald's (MCD) was a favorite of mine during the recession, as a weak dollar boosted overseas revenue and value-conscious consumers flocked to the Golden Arches. But low-priced fare can only take you so far, and competitors have started to erode MCD's hold on cheap eats.

What's more, the company's successful McCafe offerings took cash away from Starbucks (SBUX) in early 2009 -- but now cheaper at-home alternatives to brewing coffee are cutting into McDonald's java sales. That's bad news for MCD, and I rate this stock a sell.

Next: Dog of the Dow #11: Procter & Gamble (PG)
