🍔🌯🍝 The Golden Arches, Burrito Bowls, and Olive Gardens

Ah, the Golden Arches. A symbol of American capitalism if there ever was one. Since 2010, Ronald and his crew have been flipping not just burgers but also flipping the script on market expectations. But look, the stock has seen a pullback recently. Why? Maybe folks are trying to eat healthier, or maybe it's just market dynamics. Either way, if you're a long-term investor, this dip might be your Happy Meal.

Let's talk Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, and the rest of the Darden family. These guys have been serving up gains like they serve up unlimited breadsticks—endlessly. But even the best of parties face a hangover, and Darden is no exception. The stock has pulled back, but remember, when they're down, they're handing you a buying opportunity on a silver platter.

Ah, Chipotle. The darling of fast-casual. They've been rolling up investor returns like one of their famous burritos. But even Chipotle hasn't been immune to the recent market downturn. The stock's taken a hit, but let's be real—this could be a spicy opportunity to buy the dip. It’s gone up over 2000% since 2010 compared to the S&P’s 300%+.

Look, nobody likes buying stocks when they're making all-time highs. It's like buying a Big Mac at a five-star restaurant price. These pullbacks in MCD, DRI, and CMG could be the market's way of putting these stocks on the Dollar Menu for you. If you're in it for the long haul, now might be the time to start nibbling. While there could still be more room to the downside, these stocks are on our radar given the outperformance shown above, and we think you should be looking at them too.

So there you have it. McDonald's, Darden, and Chipotle have been outperforming the broader market for over a decade. Sure, they've hit a rough patch recently, but let's not forget what Warren Buffett says about being greedy when others are fearful. If you've got a long-term perspective, these dips might just be the appetizers before the main course of gains. 🚀

Until next time, keep your portfolios diversified and your appetites hearty. 🍔🌯🍝
