On a percentage basis --- McDonalds (MCD) is a low paying dividend... BUT!! Check the dividend out... because a scant 4 years ago -- they paid a whopping 38 CENTS per share per quarter (2008) and now they're paying 77 cents per share per quarter!
So they LIKE to increase the dividend! Think about it - has YOUR income DOUBLED since 2008??? Does your employer like you that much? :>) MCD likes you so much they've doubled your pay!
Don't ya just love to think about all these little nuances?
By the way -- I point these things out -- not to belittle your statement or to argue etc --- but rather -- because it's good info for INVESTING 102.
