741.0. "McDonald's" by ANOVAX::JWICKERT () Fri Jul 08 1994 20:46

      Does anybody have an opinion on McDonald's. The stock recently split
    2 for 1 and is trading around 29. My kids love the place. In fact, it's
    about the only place they want to go to when we go out to eat.

    I think you answered your own question.  ALL kids love McDonalds and
    their growth potential in emerging economies around the globe is large. 
    Longterm McDonalds could be a part of any portfolio.
    
    
741.2They also have a DRiP!18889::BEAULIEUTue Jul 12 1994 16:446
    In addition, they offer a Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRP) whereby
    you can buy shares directly from the company rather than through a
    broker - which means you don't pay a commission. After you purchase your
    1st share, you are eligible to enroll in the DRP. My husband and I have
    been buying 1 or 2 shares a month this way for almost a year now. 
    
741.3How do you initially purchase your first share ?CSC32::GAINESWed Jul 13 1994 01:577
How do you initially purchase your first share so that you can enroll in the 
DRP ?  Most brokers don't want to sell a single share, do they ?  I need some
detailed information on how to initially purchase that first share of McDonalds
stock.

Thanks,
  Darlene

Re: .3

	I believe a broker will allow you to buy an odd lot (ie.
	a lot not a multiple of 100), but may charge you extra.
	Not to mention that a broker is going to charge you the
	min. commision anyways (could be more than the price of
	that single share!).

	I also believe companies do not like stock holders
	who own so little shares (such as 1 :-) because the
	overhead per shareholder is constant and it can cost
	them more in paperwork than what your 1 share is worth
	(I've heard of co.'s offering such shareholders to
	buy the shares back directly to clear them off the books).

	In any case, if you are serious about this as an investment,
	now that the stock has split, I suggest you buy more than
	1 share!
741.5Shares can be bought thru the NAIC.LEDS::VESESKISWed Jul 13 1994 09:5719
    
    	In regards to buying 1 share of McDonalds via the DRP program it
    was done through the NAIC (National Association of Investors Corp).
    Do a DIR/TITLE=NAIC for more information in this conference.  As a
    member of the NAIC there are over 200 companies that allow you to
    purchase stocks directly from them. You initially purchase 1 with the
    NAIC acting as the agent. After you recieve confirmation that you own
    the share you may then purchase additional shares at a regular basis.
    There is no commission charge for purchasing additional shares and
    there is a one time $5 charge you pay to the NAIC for buying the
    initial share.
    
    	I have found this an excellent way to purchase stocks without
    paying brokers and a good way to dollar cost average as well. Though
    there are only roughly 200 companies involved with this particular 
    program with the NAIC they are constantly adding more since it is 
    becoming very popular with the members.

    It costs about $600K and as I understand you have to go thru a rigerous
    12-18 month training program all the way from flipping hamburgers to
    management. someone else may be able to elaborate on this.

    I've heard you need $1.2M to start a McDonalds.  About $600K for the
    franchise then $600K to build the building.

    If you don't have that kind of money in the bank, you might be able to
    find someone who has run a franchise for a long time and wants to sell
    out and retire. Maybe make an arrangement whereby you buy over time.
    
    Of course, whether a McDonald's franchise is a good investment today
    is an open question. The historical record is pretty positive.

741.13More on DRiPs18889::BEAULIEUFri Jul 15 1994 16:3325
    
    Back to the subject of DRips...
    If anyone is interested in learning more about DRiPs (they are offered
    by hundreds of companies) there are several books available on the
    subject. The book I have "Buying Stocks Without a Broker" (I don't have 
    the authors name available at the moment), is full of information about 
    DRiPs, it answers questions such as "Why do companies offer DRiPs?",
    lists and evaluates the companies offering the DRiPs, and even gives
    examples of possible "model portfolio's. (This book lists companies
    that offer DRiPs which are not available through the NAIC as well as
    those that are) This book and many others on the subject are available in 
    any of the local bookstores as well as through the NAIC and sell in the
    $15 - $20 range. 
    
    So far, I have bought all of my DRiP's through the NAIC, however, I have 
    also heard of an organization called "First Share" that works something 
    like this:
    You pay an annual fee of $12 to join.
    You can buy the 1 share of stock you need through the organization.
    You must be willing to sell 1 of your shares if asked, to someone else
    in the organization.
    I have more info on this one at home and will look it up if anyone is
    interested.

    RE .12
    
         It was my understanding that McDonalds was not allowing franchise
    owners to sell out, per se, they were buying up all the franchises as
    soon as anyone thought of selling one? Maybe it's something contractual
    with the franchise owner's, that is, that McDonald's has first right of
    refusal in buying an existing restraunt?? I'm really not sure, but I
    thought I read that some time back.

      Thanks for all the opinions! Merrill Lynch just downgraded McDonald's
    to the tune of 2 points on Friday. Think it's a good time to buy or to
    stay away?
