Oh Mcdonald's has some DIVIDENDS!

While I've been eyeing on BP for close to a week or more already (honestly I'm getting really tired and bored and I'm REALLY forcing myself to stay committed), I'm also looking at other firms to safely "park" my other funds as part of constructing a diversified portfolio.

Then I came across trusty Mcdonald's. hmm. Unless a random Act of God that destroys that massive golden arches, I pretty much believe Macs has a very safe and firm business plan. I'm just a little sure that Macs will grow over the years (with emerging markets in other countries), but I'm pretty darn sure that Macdonald's has been doing pretty well.

A company like Mcdonald's will not be greatly affected my economic crisis for people turn to cheaper alternative of food and Macs happens to fall under that category (Not comparing your $3 chicken rice from Singapore.)

Although the dividend is at about 3.4% per annum, I believe it's not just about receiving high dividends but rather stable ones as well. Surely I wouldn't want to end up in a company that pays 10% dividends this year, and nothing the next few!

So Oh Mcdonald's has some dividends! yee  yah  yee  yahh  ohhhHH!
