UST, Inc. (UST)

I must admit that the stars seem aligned for UST

- financial and balance sheet are pretty good
- US tobacco companies are moving into foreign markets and snuffing out the domestic producers in their crib during the process
- They've got a non-cyclical product that people don't stop using even when its killing them (and everyone else around them)
- And they pay a handsome dividend in a time when the markets is in capital preservation mode

The only thing that could kill this stock is foreign government regulation (which will come some day).

But, I hate this company and everything they stand for. I'll short it even if it goes up 1000%.

Call this my moral indignation pick.
