KO, WMT, MCD... You scared?

You've heard it on the street and on the news. "People are quitting drinking cokes for water, shopping at Walmart for better quality, and eating fast food. "
Is this overblown and too hard too fast, or do these companies have legitimate things to worry about? Would you buy if you don't have them already?

Coke's profit margin on Dasani brand tap water must be insane.

Both of these are tied to how the markets are doing... The moment things hit a snag, you can bet your arse Walmart and McDonalds sales will go up.

Since all three are the best companies in the history of the world in their respective areas, I will continue to buy all three. Read about Warren Buffett's belief in "wide-moat" stocks and you'll feel better too
Also remember that companies such as these typically derive a large portion of their revenue from international markets. These days, poor people abroad are generally coming out of poverty, so that's likely where future growth will come from

Is this even true...that's an honest question.

Maybe some other energy drinks, but Monster has it's own stock (MNST)

It's a good point made about international growth being the future. It was just food for thought about these three slowing down domestically.
Emerging poor countries probably aren't health conscience anyway, so they would be good candidates for fast food expansion. 6.5 billion people don't live in the U.S. And Canada - something to think about.

Uncle formerly was a VP for Coca Cola and said that their profits on water alone makes them a rich company. Said they basically just take tap water and put plastic around it.

ETA: Full disclosure, Warren Buffett and I combined own over 400 million shares of KO.

this is why you don't buy "purified" water; we only get fresh spring water. though i'm sure we are are getting screwed somewhere along the line.

LOL.
Anyone else on here read Warren's annual letters? They are must read for me within 24 hours of their release each year.
