Just a good long-term holding. Extremely profitable, it's well-known brands (Bacardi, Guinness, etc) give it an essentially impenetrable economic moat. It pays a good dividend and it's going to hold up well in bad economic times (people will certainly not stop drinking if times get tough).

Yes, slight mistake above. Not Bacardi. I was, shall we say, sampling the merchandise when I wrote the above. Smirnoff, I meant to say. Bacardi's a whole 'nother company, and not public either.

I agree. Drinking & smoking remain profitable esp. in down markets. It has one of the best paying dividends out there.

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was pro da. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

- There is a reason it's not publicly traded. So much for free capital markets in Russia.
