Do you have any stocks in your portfolio with a dividend above 10%?

I held tobacco stocks like $MO and $BTIin my portfolio until recently , where the dividend was around 8%. But I recently sold them and moved the money into other stocks.

Do you have tobacco company stocks in your portfolio?

These dividend stocks are doing quite well this year, as $MO, $BTI and $PM are up more than 10% since the beginning of the year. Last year I had $MO in my portfolio and was very happy, but this year I sold the dividend stocks and bought growth stocks.

What is your current perception of the tobacco industry?

I have $MO and $BTIstocks in my portfolio , but I'm selling BTI and keeping $MO. Revenues from regular cigarettes are down and will continue to decline, but companies are moving to e-cigarettes, new products and various alternatives that are becoming more popular and starting to sell more and more.

Investors, which stock did you sell last?

I sold quite a few shares of $BTIlast time . There's a small amount left, but I plan to sell that off by the end of the summer.
