let us start talking numbers with richard ross and andy bush. andy, i will start with you. you are also a chicago guy and clearly, a frequent mcdonald's eater. what is your fundamental take on mcd? >> well, mickey d's is right down the street from where i live. >> i know. >> i'm always there -- no. my take on these guys is look, mcdonald's did well in 2008-2009 when the world was falling apart. now the rest of the world is doing fairly well and it's just holding steady. last year, just as an example, the s&p 500 restaurant index was up 23%, mickey d's was only up ten. they just came out with same store sales which didn't look very good. obviously they were down .1% but in the u.s., down 1.4%. year over year, flat. that's not a good sign for mickey d's. even though they traded about nine times of burger king, 13 yum about 11, yum is obviously doing really well today. mickey d's has a problem. they are trying to do this -- i can't even say it, mccafe, and the problem is that they are asking the franchisees to buy machines that are about $13,000. also, it slows down the traffi
