The best performing investment since 1957? Throw in the Kraft split and a regulatory and legal environment that is telling us that its product is not going to be banned or litigated out of existence.

A marketing machine. Any company that can continually find ways to grow market share in the most adverse litigation enviornment offers strength against all odds. The spin off of Kraft and their Internatiopnal Tobacco business will drigve the share...

income from MO to the states is too juicy to sue this beast into bankruptcy. even the anti-tobacco folks don't want MO to weaken too badly as their own livelihoods depend on it. thank you for smoking!

Please sir may I have some MO. Altria (MO) is a great company despite the moral issues some people have with what they sell. This company is a cash cow that weathered some of the biggest lawsuits in history.

Compound this with the fact that they...

Altria's legal concerns are easing. Once, the Appelas Court decertified the "lights" case. The Board will spin-off Kraft. The stock should appreciate after this case is decided. While you wait, you can collect a hefty 4.60 % yield.

Not as compelling of a buy as before the Kraft spin-off, but still a good stock to hold. The tobacco/cigarette business and large industry presence allows them to pass along price increases to retain margins and profitability. The litigation matter...

Dumb people just keep getting hooked on smoking. I personally have a serious dislike for smoking but I don't see a shortage of dumb people any time soon. Phillip Morris is very agressively seeking profits outside of the US and they have a good bran...
