Top 25: #5 McDonald's

You could look at it at least two ways when it comes to the Golden Arches. One, getting in at 63 in mid-December makes any visit to your local Mickey D's a rather painful reminder of poor timing. Two, had you scooped up shares below 50 in mid-January, you did good. For now. At 53, MCD isn't super cheap, but there's too much going for the company's growth overseas — plus McCafe — to panic.
