As for dividend raises, although it would be welcomed, I would be OK if the 5% dividends remained stable. :) AFFJA Frugal Family's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093532273552790517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-43906810618442008222015-04-05T10:16:13.803-07:002015-04-05T10:16:13.803-07:00Thanks for the insight...I'll definitely keep ...Thanks for the insight...I'll definitely keep an eye out for your future post. I'm definitely weary that tobacco stocks have lost a bit of their luster due to the decrease in number of smokers out there. As long as they either raise prices or re-invent themselves (e-cigs seem to be popular these days), I think it might be at least a stable stock to own. We'll see. I think we'll give this stock about a year and decide then if we want it in out "forever" portfolio.

Hoping to be a long term investor if they are able to find ways to profit from the decreasing number of users. We'll evaluate this holding after a few more quarters to see.

PM over 5% looks really good, especially if they can keep raising dividends in the 8-10% range. <br /><br />MDPMy Dividend Pipelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105884431032493602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-24062145328003993242015-04-03T08:20:29.084-07:002015-04-03T08:20:29.084-07:00Interesting purchase, AFFJ.

I saw a report somewhere recently that the tobacco stocks were the best investment in the 20th century, so theyve had quite a great run.<br /><br />What worries me is that as the masses become more aware and health conscious, the usage has steadily decreased. Although Ive seen some conflicting reports as well - but most reputable sources seem to suggest that usage across the world is falling. The tobacco companies seem to offset this by raising the prices and are able to stay ahead in the game. Overall, most countries - atleast in the developed economies, where the health costs add up on the tax-supported structure, it is in the governments benefit to dissuade smokers in order to reduce the burden. Even countries like Russia and China have started taking initiatives (or atleast plan) to educate people and try and add restrictions to the companies and advertising.<br /><br />Anyway, I am thinking of writing a more detailed post about this on my blog - so look forward to that. I think its still ok to take a gamble but I wouldnt put a big chunk of my investments into the sector. But thats just me. I know a lot of investors have benefited and they still might, going forward.<br /><br />I wish you the best in your investment.<br />R2RRoadmap2Retirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379818667071736766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-91206372293638153692015-04-03T04:35:26.492-07:002015-04-03T04:35:26.492-07:00Awesome purchase bud.
