Altria (MO) - A Recession Proof High Yield Dividend Stock

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:40:00 GMT

There are two extreme camps of Altria’s (MO) future prospects. One of the camps is the bullish one which claims that Altria is a near monopoly, which has a 50.40% of the US cigarettes market and has nothing else to do with its cash than to distribute it back to shareholders in the form of dividends or share buybacks. Given the fact that MO is not a growth company, the stock is spotting a P/E of 11 and a generous dividend yield of 7.8%. Some of Altria’s biggest fans also like to add that the company has increased its dividends for 42 consecutive years. Given the fact that 97% of stocks returns since 1871 have come from reinvested dividends, it is not surprise that this dividend growth tobacco stock was the best performer in the S&P 500 for the 50-year period from 1957 to 2007.

When The U.S. Sneezes, The Rest Of The World...

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 18:07:00 GMT

One of the most jaw-dropping news items I saw this week was the announcement by Volvo, the world's second largest truckmaker, that it had "won just 115 European orders in the third quarter, down from 41,970 a year earlier," according to a Bloomberg report, "Volvo, Scania Miss Profit Estimates, Cut Truck Output." In my mind, that extraordinary 99.7 percent drop makes a clear statement about the suddenly precarious state of the global economy. Indeed, a report in today's Wall Street Journal, "Fresh Tumult as Signs of Recession Go[More...]

Asarco Mines Were Fraudulently Transferred, Judge Rules

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:51:00 GMT

WASHINGTON _ A federal judge in Texas ruled that a firm with ties to one of Mexico's richest families fraudulently transferred control of Asarco LLC's majority interest in two Peruvian copper mines to another subsidiary as part of a strategy that all but assured the century-old mining and smelting company's bankruptcy.
In the 192-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen said the directors of Americas Mining Corp. and its parent company, Grupo Mexico SAB, dictated the terms of the transfer in an effort to shield the mines from creditors knowing full well that Asarco was insolvent.
Grupo Mexico, which lost control of Asarco when the company filed for bankruptcy protection, filed a separate reorganization plan last week.
