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...

Best cig maker, competition unlikely because of strong gov regulation, cash cow...people are never going to stop smoking and governments need the money from taxing cig companies. Even though domestic growth may be slowing, international growth is whe...

I really like this stock. It's fundamentally strong, it's got products that people will always need, and the tide of legal problems has been shifting more to their favor. Although their earnings growth can't be expected to be huge, they make up for...

Plenty of reasons: People love Marlboros and are going to buy them even through hard times. Is a favorite of the longs. Fat dividends. Just a great stock for parking money.

Betting my score, that a small-time boost in performance is on it...

Great protection stock that prints cash. They are entering a smokeless market under the marlboro name. I think this will press other smoking tobacco companies to either follow or make a move to have a smokeless division to compete.

Reality, this company is a money making machine. Smoking may be declining in U.S but their market share overseas is expanding. Dividend gives this an extra boost.





One of the most efficent companies for the last 4 decade...
