DON'T BUY

Over the last couple of years, there was a strong focus on stocks that generated a strong cash flow. For the first time, there is a marked decline in the use of tobacco products. 4.5% dividend.

BUY

Does not see a further break up. Company is seeing some growth and generating cash. It is a good stable long growth stock.

DON'T BUY

Or the last several years, the market has there been very interested in cash flow generating assets. Both for the ability to pay a dividend yield and to generate value over time. This one comes with some legal issues on tobacco but they also have the food side. Technically, food/tobacco seems to be backing off. Moving down towards its 200 Day moving average.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

80% of stocks decline when a market peaks. Philip Morris has a very low market beta, in that it kind of does its own thing. Typically it's a stock where people go when they want to hide. If you can pick it up at against trend line support or some intermediate moving average then it's probably worthwhile jumping on board

BUY

A classic example where the news just seems to get worse and worse and yet the price continues to climb. It sells for a fraction of breakup value. Low valuations in terms of every $ spent for $ of sales and/or earnings (cash flow) yet has a dividend yield of 4.7% plus all the buy back activity and this is why it's going up.

BUY

The tobacco part generates substantial amounts of cash. Restructuring and spinning out some of their other businesses would probably increase its value.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past top pick Apr 6/04. Up 7%) Pays 6% dividend yield. They buy it on bad news. An absolute cash flow machine.

TOP PICK

(A past top pick Jan 14/04. Up 2.6%.) Also paid out at $.77 dividend during that period. They will spin off their Kraft holdings.

TOP PICK

Controversy often creates low valuation giving opportunities to buy. Good in a diversified portfolio. Good dividend.

TOP PICK

Expects huge cash flows in the next five years. Class-action lawsuits seem to be going in favor of the tobacco companies. 6% dividends.

DON'T BUY

Good cash generator. Kraft has been a problem for them but they spun it off. A better stock to own during a down period.

BUY

Continuing to win court cases, so the legal clouds are less than what they were. A cash generating machine. 5/6% dividend yield. Looking pretty good.

STRONG BUY

8% dividend yield. Five times cash flow. 6/7 X earnings. They own 83% of Kraft plus Philip Morris International. With these assets, you are actually paid $10 a share to own Philip Morris USA.

DON'T BUY

Has problems with litigation and expects more to come.

DON'T BUY

Fairly priced. Possible 10/15% upside, if that. 6% dividend.
