British American Tobacco

I think the sector is very stable and companies have found that normal cigarettes are not working so well so they are switching to other products such as electric cigarettes, which young people are buying, and I think tobacco companies will continue to do well. Otherwise, I have $BTI-0.7% stock in my portfolio and the dividend is great :D

I bought the O

how much does $BTI give? :) I'm also thinking of jumping in

I'm thinking of hopping on too :)

I have a feeling that the divi in those numbers isn't exactly sustainable for them long term right now. After all, they don't exactly have a small debt

I have $BTI-0.7% in my portfolio and probably plan to buy some more ETFs.

Super thanks for the summary. I have shares of $BTI-0.7% in my portfolio and I'm happy with the results as well.

These companies are just doing great business. Both $MO+0.1% and $PM+0.2%. They are actually such "immortal" companies since people will always buy their products.

I was wondering how to comment on your post and in general, how to take it, if the question is, is it ethical to have a business in Russia, to invest in it, etc.? ...for me, why not. 😊 Honestly, and now I might pull down a wave of resentment on myself here, but I have nothing against Russia. On the contrary, I would be more afraid of Ukraine. It is an unstable state and always has been. Neither a regime, nor a proper democracy, nor communism. So something in between, corruption big etc. Russia, there the political regime is still the same. Yes, you could have long debates about where is better. For us, probably nowhere, but like where I'm with the Russians, even though I'm pro-west, I'm a capitalist and not a communist, but that's how the US is expanding. I don't blame Russia, how many times has the US said clearly, don't put bases near our borders, but they don't and they don't, the US keeps "shitting" on the world and they have peace on their territory. They create conflicts but mainly far away from them. Russia, it kind of holds its own, it doesn't fart all over the world. It has its territory, its resources, and what they do on their turf is their business. I would like to see the US if Russia started building bases in Mexico or elsewhere near the US border, they wouldn't like that either. Plus, tvl Europe here its hatred of Russia, but we can be happy for it, Russia fought, liberated a good part of Europe. Russia has direct resources that Europe needs. This will bring me back, I don't want communists here, I'm happy for open borders, freedom of enterprise etc ... but like overall what bothers me is that it is condemned when there is a different opinion, a different regime. Why, if it "suits" them and it's on their territory and they don't force it elsewhere ...why can't they also just deal normally with other politics. Benefit from trade relations etc... Honestly what is this comedy, nothing but business. I say, I don't lump all Ukrainians or Russians in the same bag and that is just it. But when I look at how the ones coming here and here are behaving now, it's disgusting and I would drive them back. I have nothing against those who were born here for example, I myself have a great friend who has lived here since he was a kid, worked in a factory and worked his way up through hard work ...just saying that I'm really tired of the hate and pigeonholing, Hate Russia. Sanctions etc. Fucking excuse me, what the Germans for example, nobody sees it, they started the war twice, committed horrible things to people and now they still set the direction of Europe. That has been forgotten. The economy here is totally shit, Russia has inflation below 3%, so who's better off I guess.

Apologies for the style, I've probably long since passed the point of this post altogether, but I find it good to express myself here as I feel we are a bunch open minded and not just "blind" sheep shouting hate with the crowd.

I just had them in a post the other day, disregarding the moral aspect, the dividend more than great and hopefully I never had a red position with BTI.

$BTI-0.7% is probably the most sensible of the trio of tobacconists, although it bothers me a bit that they don't innovate and focus as much on moving towards alternatives

I personally have a bit of a portfolio in BTI and if I wanted to be sure despite the electronics you have $PM. I'm planning on them too but so far I've always been tempted by other better for me stocks in other sectors. 🙂🤷‍♂️

I know and have $BTI-0.7%, I don't know the others, thanks for the tips, I'll take a look.

I'm happy about that - my largest position in my portfolio is $BATS and I overbought today. I have great confidence in the future of the company, especially after the CEO change you mention. The planned buybacks and debt reduction will also do the trick.
