  Market Folly submits:

  The second fund in the 3rd quarter edition of our 2008 hedge fund tracking series is Clarium Capital Management, LLC. Clarium is a $6 billion global macro hedge fund run by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal. 2008 has been a roller coaster year for Thiel and company. Earlier in the year, they were up over 45%. But, as market volatility increased, they began to give back their gains and now find themselves -2.8% for the year. This was in part due to a rough October, in which they were down 18% for the month,...

• McDonald's: Safety in Gold - or in Golden Arches?

  (Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:39:24 -0500)

  As people look for safe investment havens during the recession, many are looking at gold. Others, however, might do well to look for the golden arches that are the familiar trademark of McDonald’s (MCD) restaurants. The omnipresent fast food chain reported same store sales for October were up 8.2% over the same period last year. Although the chain’s US figures lagged behind the rest of the world, the reported 5.3% US growth is still a very good number considering the state of the economy. McDonald’s branches in the combined region of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa led...

• McDonald's Beats the Restaurant Blues

  (Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:06:16 -0500)

  FP Trading Desk submits:

  The weaker economy hasn’t stopped burger-eaters worldwide from “lovin’ ” McDonald's Happy Meals. Indeed, analysts are saying an 8.2% same store sales surge in October was likely a result of penny-pinching consumers eating more at under the Golden Arches.
  
  The numbers beat even the company's own predictions the increase would be similar to the 7.1% increase it recorded in the same month last year. The good news provided some welcome respite in a sector  where many sit-down restaurants have...
