well I finally made the list with MO. and the market finally made it down to where I thought it would fall. just a few months off with both picks.

Ski,
MO could win it all. PM and MO are almost perfect stocks to buy and hold. They steadily climb and always pay a nice dividend, nothing flashy and not much hype. Just checked my PM holdings, up 100.5%. Nice slow gains.

PM was my first choice but someone beat me to it. Like you said, with PM and MO in any retirement port, what more could you ask for. Consistent gains and divys.

Sweet! I'm 2nd, and 2nd to last. If I had gotten in soon enough, In would be 1 and 2 (Phoenix took TNH before I could grab it.) Those are the 2 I actually own too.

We might have just gotten a death warrant though. Cramer is saying to get into high yielding stocks and out of bonds.
