Better Buy: IBM vs. McDonald's
It's hard to think of two more classic blue chip stocks than IBM (NYSE: IBM) and McDonald's (NYSE: MCD).
One is a tech giant that's been around for more than 100 years and the other is the world's biggest restaurant chain. Both are among the 30 components that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Though IBM and McDonald's aren't competitors, there's no doubt that investors look to each stock for similar qualities, including a reliable dividend payment and a business model and brand name that has been successful over generations. That makes them competitors for investment dollars.
