Recent buy: PM & MO

Today I bought:
14 shares PM: $1318
84 shares MO: $5835

The RAI shares were sold today to purchase the MO shares. Since RAI is being bought out, I wanted to replace a US based tobacco company with another US based tobacco.

PM shares were done in my retirement account. I believe PM in the future will be able to grow faster than domestic US tobacco. It is only because of the temporary headwinds due to the strong dollar that PM is lagging behind MO.

These two company purchases will yield for me $264 a year in dividends.

  1. Very nice, a nice little dividend per year too. Looks like a good choice.

  4. I want to add MO to my portfolio but the valuation now seems a bit too much. You won't get crushed over the long term, but I don't want to risk the likelihood of giving up that much due to valuation compression over time. All the best.
