McDonald's Corp (NYSE:MCD)

great coffee, and a dollar menu in a recession, depression.

McDonald's influx into China can only be good for the company, China represents an outstanding market that is currently underdeveloped for fast food. Also, the coffee is so good for the price, how can people not eat there...

Euro will hurt short term, but come on, it's McDonalds!

Anyone have any doubts about McDonald's continuing ability to sustain and continue to raise its dividend for many years to come? If you believe in long-term dividend growth investing, why would you not have what is surely one of the safest dividends to be found as one of your CAPS picks. This one's a no-brainer. I would buy it in real life but its direct stock purchase plan requires all dividends be reinvested in order to stay enrolled in the plan. I use direct stock purchase plans through either Computershare, BNY Mellon, or the companies themselves (SCG, AEE). I take my dividends as income and it helps me to save more money faster so I can buy more dividends. But I want to be able to redirect my dividend income as I please, rather than mindlessly reinvest it.

even in a down economy it seems people go to McDonalds. And the real estate the co owns is in some very prime locations

People have to eat and cheaply. MCD is always quick to innovate and respond to customer tastes, quite an accomplishment for a company this huge. It is also spread across the world and tailors the menu to the target population. I don't see how it can fail to prosper in a turbulent and uncertain time

Household name. Come on its McDonalds, price continues to rise and the dividends continue to be raised overtime. They are constantly trying new things and sticking to what works where it works and getting rid of the things that dont work. This is a great long term stock.

does this need explanation. no. buy mcd.

quality of product, employee knowledge and commitment, it all remains.....positive

It's McDonald's. A company that has roots so deep in our world that the only way they are done is in the event of a comet striking Earth.

With the obesity epidemic, I can see McDonalds adding more healthy choices to their menu, which will add to their bottom line.

Active advertising and solid earnings.

With more prime real estate than the Catholic Church, Ronald is going to keep growing and with a nice DRIP who could turn down his burgery goodness.

Great new products. We'll benefit the most out of all the fast food restaurants when the economy fully recovers. McDonald's goes no where but up

im lovin it

McDonald's putting more into China, should make for a good run

It's yielding 3.12% The P/E is very reasonable. I heard on the boob tube yesterday this is a new all time high for MCD. So I'm adding it to my caps port just to watch and see if it goes down or if it keeps going up. Either way it seems like a pretty good buy right now. It's certainly proven to be a recession-resistant company.

McDonalds is doing great things with its McCafe brand. They're not just greasy bugers any more.

Money making machine..... big dividends.
