ARBITRAGE SELL MCDONNALD BUY YUMPrice differential has gone too wide.
PE RATIO FOR MCD 21 AND FOR YUM 17...
IT SHOULD GIVE THE PATH FOR CONVERGENCE OF BOTH ASSETS
Long in MCDMy current view for MCD is bullish due to its finacial strength is very good and the forecast of its earns is expecting to be 22% better than its previous earns. So, I bought in what I think that is a pull bak after a brake od a bull flag.
McDonald's AB=CD PatternJust something to be mindful of if you're long. We don't have confirmation for a short sale, but patterns like this that complete large measured moves can some times indicate a correction.
-Always use a stop
-Trade only with money you can afford to lose
-Be open to multiple scenarios
-It's okay to be wrong about anything
MCD moving into reference fib resistanceWith the China crack down on their lending practices this week this is bound to impact growth prospects. MCD has largely moved based off growth in asia. Very toppy pattern to watch.
MCD it's always good to rest after a Big Mac(up)we had a nice gap up pn huge volume a few days ago. If we want to see more strength, we don't want this gap to be filled.
MCD - MC-Donalds above Warning Line.So finally MCD has decided to stay above the Warning-Line.
This could be the beginning of a nice relationship for a couple points into the sky ;-)
Let's see if we can participate on this entry.
MCD. McDonalds: Daily chart setting bearish divergencesMCD has been raising alongside the market but, while the whole market (as well as XLY fund) added around 30% since 2016 lows, MCD was only able to push up a half of it.
On one side, the stock potentially is underperforming but technicals say it has a very strong resistance to break. Daily chart shows bearish divergence, same as Weekly timeframe, and we are very close to the Median Line of the Fork.
I believe shorts are welcome once the price goes to a double-top formation in 132-134 area. SL can be set at 136.5 with TP1 at 121 and TP2 at 111
