I think maybe you're confused about what DEO does. They are the single largest producer, distributor, and marketer of alcohol in the world. They have a 44 billion dollar market cap and profit margins that have hovered around 20% for years. And sin stocks do extraordinarily well in economic downturns, as people tend to drink more when times are tough. I put this stock as a big ol buy and hold at it's current price.
