Today I opened a new position in McDonalds (MCD). I purchased 11 shares at $98. McDonalds was under some selling pressure after last weeks earnings miss so I was lucky enough to get in under $100. MCD has increased its dividend for 36 consecutive years, making it a dividend champion, i.e. more than 24 years of consecutive increases. It's because of this stellar record that McDonald's stock is held by so many dividend growth investors, and that's why I am adding it to my portfolio.
McDonalds Corporation franchises and operates McDonald's restaurants in the United States, Europe, the Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, and Latin America. Its restaurants offer various food items, soft drinks, coffee, and other beverages, as well as breakfast menus.
