Opinion on  Altria Group Inc (MO)     Sector: Consumer/Non-Cyclical  >  Industry: Tobacco
MO + PMI + Buyback = Shareholder value

This companies past success makes me want to believe that its future is guaranteed. The long term commitment to high dividends of this firm are reassuring. The company's planned 1 for 1 split as it spins off Phillip Morris International seems like it may add value for the shareholder. It will enable the company to make adjustments to insure growth in the global market as it promises a value enhancing 6% share buyback. This seems like is a good place to park long term investment money to me. How far down will this stock go in the current decline of the market overall is the big question for me as of (2/11/08)?
