The McRib is coming back. McDonald's semi-mythical sandwich containing boneless pork, barbecue sauce, onions, and pickles is returning to participating stores nationwide on December 3rd for a limited time. The McRib wasn't around in 2023 at all, and was supposed to be on its farewell tour in 2022. So let's hope its comeback goes better than Mike Tyson's.

But Toby, apparently there's something called the McRib effect that says during periods when the McRib is available, the stock market posts higher returns. Is this true at all?

99.298 - 119.153 Toby Howell

Yeah, this is big news, not just for your taste buds, but potentially your brokerage account. According to analysis from the finance blog of Dollars and Data, when the McRib is available, the S&P 500 has a higher average daily return than days when it's not available. When you annualize this, when you add it all up, the difference amounts to 19%. And now a word from our sponsor, Yahoo Finance.

Neil, yesterday and really the last month has been a wild time for news.
