Stock I bought today June 20 2017

Today I bought 27 share of FDP (Fresh Del Monte) at $49.75 per share. This is kind of not very dividend oriented purchase. The stock only earns 1.22% in dividends but I like the company. I am very into healthy eating and buying shares of company which is one of the biggest providers of fruit around the world means a lot to me. Plus this stock is trading close to the 52 weeks lowest.

At this moment on my watch list GIS, KR, T and VZ

Anyone else is thinking to sell some of MCD stocks in near future?
