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.

Do you address moral considerations and ethics when investing in stocks?

Personally, I more or less don't address that when investing because every company does something wrong, and I couldn't invest anywhere with that attitude. On the one hand, I understand that it's not ideal and that it's not pretty, but on the other hand, I don't mind investing in companies like $MO or $LMT...

Altria Group $MO has become the most attractive dividend stock in the S&P 500 index, thanks to a yield of nearly 8%. This status was reinforced by pharmaceutical giant Walgreens Boots Alliance's decision to suspend dividend payments, which shifted investor attention to Altria and other stable dividend payers.

Which dividend stocks make up the largest part of your portfolio?

Of the dividend stocks, I have a larger position in $MO, $VICI, $O and $KOMB.PR.

Do you have any stocks in your portfolio that are not too dependent on economic cycles?

In my portfolio it would definitely be $WMstocks , as garbage is always being exported. Plus, the chart shows nicely that the various crises in the past have not affected this stock much. The other stock will probably be $MO, since people are always smoking whether interest rates are low or...

Shares of $BTI and $MO formed new ATH today. Both stocks are up over 25% year to date and also pay a dividend of over 7%. I had both $BTI and $MOin my portfolio until the beginning of the summer . I sold $BTI and kept $MO as I trust Altria and don't need more than $BTI and two tobacco stocks in my portfolio.

What about you? Do you prefer $BTI or $MO and why?

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.

💵 Three reliable dividend stocks with a yield above 5%!

Here is my pick of 3 interesting dividend companies from different sectors.

These companies are known for their long history of raising dividends every year and at current prices offer yields over 5 %. Although dividend increases are not expected to be huge somehow, their stability and advantages over their competitors make...

Do you have tobacco stocks included in your portfolio?

I have $BTI and $MOstocks in my portfolio . I keep the position the same size, but I haven't overbought in a while and don't plan to. These companies pay a very solid dividend. However, I am starting to worry about the future of this sector.

Altria is increasing its share buybackprogram from the original $1 billion to $2.4 billion. This news flash made me quite happy, as I find buybacks to be much better than dividend payments. The dividend here is very nice and $MO stock has been around that $40 mark for the past year. I was buying their stock quite a bit last year, but the sector has faced a few problems...
