Although companies like McDonald's sell non-kosher food, including meat and milk that is mixed together (from which it is prohibited to benefit) most halachic authorities maintain that it is permitted to own such stocks since you have no rights of ownership in the actual products; rather, you only have dividends from the company's investments. As for owning stocks during Passover in a company that makes chametz, since the stockholder has no right to do anything at the plant on his own accord, and certainly has no right to destroy the chametz, he is not in violation of owning chametz.
Note: Israel changes to "shaon kayitz," summer time early Friday morning, March 24.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
