Analyst Recommendation  

Return, 1970-present (including dividends): 103,800%
Lesson: Undeniable consumer-facing trends

Regardless of how you feel about Big Tobacco, you have to admit that Altria is so successful because it runs a business built on a fundamentally consumer-driven -- and highly addictive -- product. Plenty of other great companies display similar characteristics -- Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) ring a bell? We definitely want a business that appeals to consumers' most basic interests.
