Philip Morris

It's not a bad company, but I don't want to shop. I think $MO is better.

I look forward to seeing all the results! I'm very curious to see what direction the indices take. Because good numbers don't automatically mean growth.

For me, $PM, but the other companies are pretty similar. I think I like this firm the best.

$JNJ $BAC $TSLA $PG

I have $TSM which I was counting on a drop, but I'm holding long and the outlook for the next quarters looks promising. I don't have $PM, I've been buying $BTI this week.

What you write here is interesting, but it is electronic smoking and electronic smoking... Considering iqos, it is in a word just bullshit. If a person smokes and wants to quit, there are two ways, either they have a strong will and quit right away, or they limit the number of cigarettes. Or the other option is to start vaping, and there it's a much healthier way to smoke because you can make the liquid yourself and it's a lot cheaper overall, and honestly it's kind of fun. Too bad PM didn't go that route and went through iqos. If they had gone through those liquids and developed some of those vaping devices and invented other things instead of their heated crap where it's very well known that tobacco is maybe not even something like that and instead of a filter mica ... 😂 I'm basing this on my own experience regarding vaping and on videos I've seen before about iqos and what has been discussed several times in various vape forums... Sorry for the verbage, but at least maybe someone will make a picture of well about it. The stock of course is bad there is no business about it and they have it well thought out and know how to just sell it to those people..

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.
