Warren Buffett: Why I Regret Selling McDonald's Stock

A while back, Warren Buffett owned a significant amount of McDonald's stock, but sold it shortly after purchasing it. In this video he explains why that was ultimately a mistake and describes some unique aspects of the McDonald's business model.

FYI: Most McDonald's outside of the USA are located inside shopping malls and on leased properties. They are also operated as a wholly independent entity that are usually a joint venture with local business consortiums usually with a 50:50 stakeholdings, so the McDonald's international presences are completely in a different arena to that of the US.

mcdonalds sounds like a coke type stock, recession proof, yes you "eat out" but i wouldn't call it a luxury item, a) people need to eat b) people still believe in the myth cooking is more expensive then eating fastfood, mcdonalds sounds like an amazing stock

Major indexes booked their worst yearly performance since 2008 thanks to drivers like the recession, war, hiked interest rate and inflation which so far doesn’t seem to be easing off, so I’m left wondering what 2023 has in store for us investors, I’ve been sitting on over $745K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy or do I wait?

It's easy to say it was a mistake with past data.

Весь рост американских акций - только за счёт покупки их ФРС. Это - типовая пирамида. Экспоненциальный рост, чтобы прикрыть бесконечную эмиссию ничего не стоящих долларов. Результат - гиперинфляция и дисбаланс экономики. Баффет - это старый гриб, которого выпустили напускать туман.
