Tobacco execs may be scum, but not dumb. Smokers will smoke more as recession fears deepen. Increased taxes breeds smuggling and counterfeit tax stamps. Tobacco companies can outlast individual smokers in court and the current feeling against trial lawyers provides congress cover to eliminate all class action suits. Basic fundamentals of MO and PM are strong. (e.g. MO has 40% market share & both have cash flow)

The accompanying table presents a 20-stock defensive growth portfolio which I believe will outperform the overall market as measured by the S&P 500 Index as the current panic trade comes to an end and investors stop selling stocks regardless of their fundamentals. The average PEG ratio for this group of stocks is below one and the average dividend yield of 4.4% is nearly two times the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yield of 2.4%. All of the stocks have a market cap over $1B with an average of just under $75B and the indust...

The accompanying tables present an overview of new global equity indexes and ETF proposals I have developed to provide investors with access to six industry groups and one geographic region that currently have no investment products on the market. Of these ideas, only the Nordic Region has a pending ETF filed with the SEC. The goal of these ideas is to provide investors with global equity index investment products which are more focused than broad-based ETFs such as iShares Dow Transports (IYT), Healthcare Sector SPDR (XLV), and Consume...

Consumer Staple Stocks Are Not Always Safe Haven Investments

Three consumer staple stocks reported earnings yesterday. Typically, these types of stocks are sought out as safe haven investments during slowing economic conditions. <>First was Philip Morris International (PM) (Call Transcript). PM reported 2q08 EPS of 86 cents which bettered consensus estimates by 3 cents. Furthermore, PM raised its FY08 guidance by 14 cents on each end of the estimate range to $3.32 - $3.38. During the quarter PM declared its initial quarterly dividend of 46 cents which implies a yield of about 3.5%. I own PM together with Altria (MO) which I received as part of the old...
