Tobacco companies remain to grow revenues and widen margins since they can increase prices faster than volumes fall. In Italy (PMI's largest mkt) prices (ex tax) have risen at 5% CAGR in the last 4 years, while volumes have fallen 2%. With sales up and costs down, profit increases.

Return, 1970-present (including dividends): 103,800%
Lesson: Undeniable consumer-facing trends

Regardless of how you feel about Big Tobacco, you have to admit that Altria is so successful because it runs a business built on a fundamentally consumer-driven -- and highly addictive -- product. Plenty of other great companies display similar characteristics -- Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) ring a bell? We definitely want a business that appeals to consumers' most basic interests.

Paying a healthy dividend of just over 4% and a spinoff of their tobacco line, should send MO up to the mid 80s in the next 3 months
