I like McDonald’s at 302, and I really, I gotta tell you, I’m liking these, these kind of nice casuals like the, like the Darden and Texas Roadhouse, are down too much. They’re down too much.

“Look, other than the fact that my wife loves Wendy’s so much, it’s just ridiculous, I’m not liking the stock. I mean, you know, they cut the dividend already. The dividend now is 5%. There’s something very wrong at Wendy’s, and the answer is you do not want to touch it. That happens to be a very tough industry, the burger industry. You want to stay away from Wendy’s.”
