McDonald's Finds the Beef
Minyan Morning Memo One to Watch: McDonald’s (MCD) starts selling bigger burgers for $4 today. The timing of its premium Angus offering may seem odd in light of a recession and America’s avowed intent to lose weight. Will a clientele conditioned to value meals trade up? It’s a tall order but the company’s constant innovation is commendable and a reason it was one of only two Dow components along with Wal-Mart (WMT) to make investors money in ‘08. Shares are down year-to-date but with its yield investors are paid to wait.What Just Happened: Yesterday 2009 07 02 12:24

NYT > Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
The discount chain, started by Sam Walton in 1962, has become a central figure in scores of social, economic and political debates, from health care to immigration to gun control.
Supporters contend that the chain's legendary low prices have democratized consumption, allowing low-income households to afford flat-screen televisions and nine-layer lasagna. Critics say those low prices have depressed domestic wages and exported manufacturing jobs to foreign countries, hurting Americans more than helping them. All of which has made Wal-Mart the most scrutinized business in the country. Running the retailer, its former chief executive, H. Lee Scott, told The New York Times, is "like running for president of the United States." On November 21, 2008, Wal-Mart announced that Mr. Scott would be succeeded by Michael T. Duke as the next chief executive and president. Mr. Scott will continue as chairman.
Mr. Duke will be inheriting a company that may be growing stronger as the economy grows weaker. The financial turmoil strangling discretionary spending at many stores, is sending struggling consumers into the arms of Wal-Mart leaving the worlds largest retailer poised for a blockbuster Christmas.
In my mind, there is no doubt that this is Wal-Mart time, Mr. Scott, said earlier in the fall at a meeting of analysts and investors in Wal-Marts hometown, Bentonville, Ark. Referring to the discount chains founder, he added, This is the kind of environment that Sam Walton built this company for.
The renewed emphasis on savings may take attention away from a public relation's record that is decidedly mixed. A commitment to make sweeping reductions in energy use and greenhouse emissions has won plaudits from environmentalists. And a new health care plan, with shorter waiting period before a new employee is eligible and lower premiums, has impressed critics. But its own employees have repeatedly embarrassed the company. Wal-Mart has asserted that two top advertising executives violated company policies by conducting a sexual affair and accepting gifts from a potential vendor. The pair deny those claims. And a computer technician taped phone calls between Wal-Mart public relations officials and a reporter for The New York Times.
