Philip Morris: This Insider Can't Get Enough [View article]
Thanks for the comment.. You can choose one of the two approaches that most investors here abide by:
a) Buy them both - both are great stocks, one operates only in US, the other everywhere but U.S. So, in a way you are diversified even though both are tobacco stocks.
b) Buy PM - because MO has to continuously deal with regulatory issues in the U.S, while PM has multiple great markets (And potential multiple issues as well.)
There are some who buy only MO because of its history. To each his/her own. I own PM and LO. PM for the growth and dividend growth. LO because of the higher yield it had when I purchased, when compared to MO.
But take a look at our older articles about PM MO LO as well to see if you can arrive at a decision:

Thanks for the commend, DD. The big question is, is this "fair value' right now. 23 times earnings doesn't seem so to me.
My take is, if someone wants to buy here for the first time, initiate a small position and add as time goes on. If someone is holding onto a chunk of shares already, do not reinvest the dividends or add more.

As mush as I love dividend stocks, it's hard to not accept a lot of them are over bought here. If you are not averse to tech stocks, Intel is a decent buy.
IBM (IBM +0.8%) is raising its quarterly dividend by $0.10/share, or 12%, to $0.95/share, and increasing its buyback authorization by $5B to $11.2B. Big Blue's yield is now at 1.9%, and its buyback authorization is now good for repurchasing 5.1% of shares at current levels. IBM carried out $2.6B in buybacks in Q1 - its EPS miss would've been much worse without them. The company notes it has raised its dividend 18 years in a row and lowered its share count by a third since 2000, and says it expects to request another authorization at its Oct. board meeting.
