Dividend Reinvestment Plan - DRIPWhat is a 'Dividend Reinvestment Plan - DRIP'
A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) is offered by a corporation that allows investors to reinvest their cash dividends by purchasing additional shares or fractional shares on the dividend payment date. A DRIP is an excellent way to increase the value of an investment. Most DRIPs allow investors to buy shares commission-free and at a significant discount to the current share price, and do not allow reinvestments much lower than $10. This term is sometimes abbreviated as "DRP."
You can only invest in publicly traded companies (which most of your list are).
Google "McDonalds stock quote" and it will give you the 'ticker symbol' which is MCD.
Open an account at a brokerage like robinhood.com etrade.com tdameritrade.com (google around and shop for the lowest transaction fees. This is the fee they charge to buy or sell a stock. Typically ranges from $5-10 per trade.)
Link your bank account to your trading account and deposit funds. Once they are in there, you can purchase stock in companies.
To purchase, simply login to your trading company, search for the ticker "MCD" and there will be an option to BUY. Depending on your funds, you would select that you want to buy lets say 15 share of MCD. As of right now, the price is $122.75 per share so you would need ($122.75 x 15 shares) = $1841.25 PLUS whatever transaction fee they charge so add another $10 to that.
Congrats, you're now an equity stake holder in McDonalds![]()
DRIPs are an easy commission-free way to get into the market.
