CAPS Rating:

The Company through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of consumer products in the following business segments: Smokeless Tobacco Products, Wine and All Other Operations.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Looks like this board needs a bear case. Nothing personal or political, just a little history lesson. Take it from someone who missed out on a pile of cash from 2000 to now. I do not own nor am I short any tobacco stocks now, nor do I intend to at least until this election is over.
