Just last week, one of those Fools, Robertgene, tapped the stock as a particularly tasty bargain opportunity:
[McDonald's] stock price has struggled recently, that's no secret. But let's look at the facts. No doubt one of the top five brands on the planet. By restaurant standards including food quality, customer service, order accuracy, pricing, location updates/ cleanliness/ and access ability, they receive excellent ratings. ... Don't count out [the] arches!
Of course, this short pitch doesn't even come close to telling the entire story for McDonald's. You're in luck, though.
