$MCD traded at 15x PE in 2012, when just 81% of stores were franchised. Today 95% are franchised, the balance sheet is twice as levered and they have already raised prices far faster than competitors. Is this a table pounding idea at 19x NTM pe? https://t.co/whFq0xVa5y

$FICO could have just kept quiet and slowly raised prices. Instead they jacked it up 17x over 5 years and lost their 30 year monopoly. 'Anyone that has a monopoly will pretend that they're in incredible competition.' - Peter Thiel https://t.co/fCCphiaSox
