Here's a potential 10k profit play. MCD 5/17 202.50c for 0.18. Buy 100 for 1.8k. If MCD makes it back to 199.## by 5/10 (in six days), you'll have 10k profits. If it makes it to 198 by 5/13 (giving you 6 trading days time), you'll make about 6k to 7k.

MCD's chart, however, is tricky. MACD with the shit cross on daily and 4hr. But mid BB still trending upward on daily and 4hr, since it did beat ER and has been on a big uptrend. [https://www.tradingview.com/x/HVIKXjY5/](https://www.tradingview.com/x/HVIKXjY5/)

**Alternative play:** The 5/31 202.5c are still pretty cheap at $0.47. Could buy 40 of them for $1880. Then if MCD makes it to 199 by 5/27 (3 weeks from now), they should be worth $1.20ish. So you'd make 2.8k.

There is rock solid support at 191. There was some good news that came out today that made it moon hard. I really don't think it'll sell off to 191. But if it did, you'd still have 2.5weeks for it bounce back up and break even or get out with small loss or profits. Now realistic best case scenario is MCD reaches 199/200 by 5/15. Then 5/31 202.5c will be worth $2.00+, in which case profit would be about 6k.

The first play is higher risk (unless loosing about 1k is not a big deal for your portfolio) but potentially super high reward. Second play is slightly less risk and variable reward, from modest to awesome.

Positive catalysts: MCD just beat on ER and made a new ATH of 200. ER numbers were great. Some good news propelled it up today as well (though I can't figure out what, exactly). The typical profit taking that happens on a big ER beat that leads to new ATH has happened, so tomorrow seems like a great entry.

Negative catalyst: stock market decides to go into correction in the next three weeks.

MCD (like other tickers today) formed a beautiful double bottom (at 193.50). And looked like after a couple days of profit taking from ATH after FOMC (super normal, btw) , people started buying the dip today. Tomorrow will be key, heading into the second week of May.
