It's great that you pointed out that - - - -

While considering your personal situation and the overall financial state of the Operator community keep the following numbers in
mind.

* MCD share price has increased three fold since the implementation of the plan to win.

* During the years 2003 thru 2006 McDonald's returned more than
$9 Billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

* In 2006 alone the company returned $5 Billion to shareholders with an expectation of returning
an additional $5 Billion in 2007 and 2008.

* Since January 2003 the Market Capitalize of MCD Corp.has grown from about $20 Billion to nearly $60 Billion. In other words, the value of the shareholder's business has tripled. Can Owner/Operators make that statement about their Equity?
