re: If you could pick one stock today to hold till you die...

I know i suggested KMI and i do believe it bc of the pipelines and how big natural gas will be but Im telling you call me crazy but MO is the stock you wanna hold for life bar none....

1)best performing stock of the last century
2)smoking rates are decling compared to the 70s yes but the overall number of smokers is the same
3)theyre big in chewing tobacco,beer,and wine....seriously
4)monster dividend that has increased annually for over 30 years
5)wait till marijuana is legal, who do you think is gonna do it big
6)the govt needs the tax dollars bad so
a.weed will be legal
b.states wont raise cigarette taxes and possibly bite themselves in the butt

I know lots of people have qualms investing in this but trust me cigarettes but altria is that and more. Cigarettes are the kinda thing where some people buy them before food or rent.....and you want the stock price depressed as much as possible so your drip can add more and more shares..
