$MO update
At the next meeting Altria will have its next payment date (01/10/12). On 12/14/2011 Altria declared its regular quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share. My sentiment; tobacco faces a tough economy (i.e an increase in Federal excise taxes and FDA regulations) and despite its challenges, MO delivers a 5.5% yield and continually outperforms the S&P. I suggest this stock continue to be a long term hold for the Club.
