AN EXTRAORDINARY THREE-YEAR CHART
Another "survivor" stock for you...
Yesterday, we introduced Royal Gold as one of the few companies in the world that weathered the 2008 credit crisis... and managed to reach a new high soon after. It takes an extraordinary company in an extraordinary situation to survive that historic selloff and then thrive.
Today's survivor easily qualifies as extraordinary. It's one of the most successful businesses of all time, and bank blowups won't dent demand for its products. It's McDonald's (MCD).
Kudos to Tom Dyson for his insight on McDonald's
back in June 2008. Tom pegged the company as one of the best stocks to own during tough economic times. McDonald's sells some of the cheapest food you can find anywhere... which comes in high demand during a recession.
As Tom predicted, McDonald's profits and share price held steady during the crisis... and the stock now sits at its all-time high. The crisis selloff couldn't even take McDonald's down to a 2008 low. Tom's 12% Letter readers are up 64% on this dividend and compounding machine.
