Booyah big guy: What's up with all the McDonald's [MCD  Loading...      ()   ] hype lately? My own upper Midwest, cross-sector polling of adults (24 men in a golf league), young men (son's baseball team, ages 12-15), and small circle of friends (married couples 35-45) find roughly almost a 3-to-1 preference for Wendy's [WEN  Loading...      ()   ] over McDonald's although there is a preference for MCD fries. Must be their size and their fries, eh? --Elks

Cramer says: “Your sample is what I call anecdotal, despite the fact that you think it’s empirical. The overwhelming worldwide demand for McDonald’s far exceeds the demand for Wendy’s. I have looked at Wendy’s over and over again to try to recommend it on the show, and I just can’t. It is too expensive and it doesn’t have the momentum. And it’s not as well run as McDonald’s…”

Booyah Cramer: Thanks for making it easier to understand the market. You talked about the strength of the smartphone revolution. What effect will this have on Amdocs [DOX  Loading...      ()   ], who provides billing and customer-relationship-management services for the biggest carriers like Sprint Nextel [S  Loading...      ()   ], AT&T [T  Loading...      ()   ], Verizon [VZ  Loading...      ()   ] and abroad like Vodafone [VOD  Loading...      ()   ] and China Mobile [CHL  Loading...      ()   ]? --Denise

Cramer says: “It’s a great question. I happen to think that there is a back-office problem, that they need Amdocs. But…I think it’s wrong to play with it….Don’t fool around with Amdocs. You buy [Apple] [AAPL  Loading...      ()   ]” for a play on smartphones.
