The chain claims it’s an attempt to make the experience consistent for whether customers dine-in, drive-thru or use the McDonald’s app. But when we heard that the company will let franchisees of individual restaurant locations decide to keep or end free drink refills, we couldn’t help but think additional revenues were part of the decision-making process. While this might not seem to be a big deal on the surface, McDonald’s tends to be a market leader in the fast food space and we could soon see the changes that the chain chooses to implement rippling out to competitors. If you’re looking to get one last free drink refill at your local McDonald’s, you’ve still got a bit of time. The company says it will take all the way to 2032 to completely roll out the changes. McDonald’s Stock Meanwhile, our own Jeffry Turnmire tells us that MCD stock is sitting right on support. A move above his proprietary Roadmap Line — currently at about 280 — could see the stock shoot upward, while a break below 260 could see the stock break down. As Jeffry always warns: don’t make a move before the high-probability setup happens, so be sure to keep a watchful eye on MCD. — The Prosperity Pub Team [] [] A Bigger Crash Than 2008?!

Initial Public Offerings can sometimes lead to massive wins. Why? Young, exciting companies tend to have huge growth rates and traders love to get behind the Next Big Thing. So if we see a breakout on a newer company, we need to pay attention. And MNDY is one to look at. Here’s the chart: [] MNDY has only been around a couple of years but it’s right near a breakout level. A move above $239.22 could lead to a big explosion. We’ll keep an eye on it.
