Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO)

Factor in the dividend for return

Great dividend

Undervalued company.

To quote the movie Thank You for Smoking "We don't sell Tic Tacs, we sell cigarettes. And they're cool, available, and *addictive*. The job is almost done for us." Seriously, I don't like smoking or its dreadful health effects. I do like MO's dividend. I try to donate a substantial portion of my MO dividend checks to American Cancer Society.

Great dividend!

Have you ever tried to stop smoking??? That pretty much sums it up/

Great dividend yield; solid performer - buy & hold.

Altria will outperform because it offers a strong dividend, great products, and has a strong consumer base.

Although I don't smoke, I've visited with too many smokers who tell me they wouldn't give up their cigs, even if they doubled in price. Mo not only owns its market, MO owns the bodies and souls of its customers who will keep on smoking no matter what the economy does.

I believe this stock will outperform the S&P in the long run because of it's underlying business economics. I like the fact that they have sectored their tobacco brands to different socio/economic strata--Marlboro, Virginia Slims, and Parliament. These along with Copenhagen and Skoal chewing tobacco dominate the self space at all the outlets where tobacco is sold to the general public. Black and Mild cigar and pipe tobacco (John Middleton) is also another valuable pickup for different segments of the population. If you want a vehicle to deliver tobacco in the US, Altria can't be beat. Having said this, I am taking a wait and see attitude so I can collect enough data to see how Altria fares without its' international market outlets. I will be a very interesting stock to keep an eye on. It will also be very interesting to have enough data to discount the company's position to a present value compounding rate of return.

Apparently, it has never NOT outperformed so why should that change anytime soon? I want that dividend and I finally decided I would have it. Invested through direct stock purchase plan, through Computershare. Four-star rating by Standard & Poors. For a lot of really positive information about this company, go to DIVIDENDMACHINE's website over on Seeking Alpha. This company is a cash cow.

Income

If there is one product that consumers will keep on needing, it is tobacco. Despite the potential of younger generations being more aware of the risks, there are still enough middle aged working smokers to support the most dominant firm in the industry.

I own some options and I believe it will make me good money in the next year or two

This stock is smokin' Returns are lighting up especially in third world growth. Nice dividends add the the aroma.

recession proof ! Going to retire on this one!

TOO MANY LEAGAL HURDLES ......WILL FOREVER BE FIGHTING IN THE COURTS.....EVER GROWING TAXATION ON THE PRODUCT....SMOKING POPULATION NOT GROWING ANYMORE.....CONSTANT EVOLVING LEGAL LIMITATIONS OF SMOKING BY CITY,COUNTY,STATE,FEDERAL GOVT'S. NOT TO MENTION EMPLOYER RESTRICTIONS. FUTURE QUARTERLY GROWTH IS HARD TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS MINE FIELD

It is too cheep

This stock will outperform due to industry domination and low ovewrhead. Also has a buyers dividend and generates enough cash to keep increasing it.
