McDonalds Unexplained Slide Amid Moon Landing Anniversary and Magazine Promo Ranking 113th in Dollar Liquidity

On Sept. 8, 2025, , ranking 113th among U.S. equities by dollar liquidity. The decline occurred despite no material news directly tied to the company’s operations or market positioning in the reviewed content.

Available updates included a historical milestone marking the 51st anniversary of the first moon landing and a promotional note for a heritage-themed magazine launch. Neither event demonstrated relevance to McDonald’s business fundamentals, corporate strategy, or broader consumer sector dynamics. A separate corporate membership program listing contained no actionable information for equity analysis.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Market / universe • Should we look at all U.S. listed equities, or a specific universe such as the Russell 3000, S&P 1500, etc.? 2. , ? 3. , or use open prices? 4. , or assume a fixed commission/slippage per trade? Once I have these four items I can generate the data-retrieval plan and kick off the back-test.
