McDonald's (MCD)

McDonald's reported that sales at restaurants open at least a year fell 0.6 percent in the U.S. It was the second consecutive monthly decline for the measure, an important indicator of a restaurant chain's health, and a steeper fall than October's 0.1 percent. This is only the fourth U.S. decrease in 6 1/2 years.
Many analysts believe the high unemployment rate is negatively impacting sales for McDonald's, as well as other fast food chains. Expect continued weak results until unemployment recedes.
