Sr. Analyst

UST is the maker of Skoal & Copenhagen chewing tobacco. They also sell several lines of wines. The company has been in business since 1822 and has market dominance in smokeless tobacco. Strong double-digit profit margin, ROA, and heaps of positive free cash flow makes this entree very flavorful. Current earnings report was a miss and created an attractive buy point. With a dividend yield of 4%, a little wait is no big deal.

Closed:   04/17/2007 @ $59.32 (+14.53% in 172 days) (+4.45% from dividend)
Allocation:   4.1% of portfolio
