McDonald’s has a big sales problem in the U.S.

GE and McDonald’s disappoint on growth–although I like the stocks from here in an uncertain environment

I wouldn’t make too much of today’s move to the upside in U.S. markets. It’s not unusual for the Friday of a down week to show a slight bounce. Certainly today’s earnings results from market bellwethers McDonald’s (MCD) and General Electric (GE) won’t relieve market worries about revenue and earnings growth for U.S. companies.
