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)

 "During volatile and uncertain markets, a good defensive stock can provide much better protection and profits than moving into money markets or Treasuries," explains Louis Basenese.
The contributing analyst to The Oxford Club explains, "My favorite defensive pick right now is Philip Morris (NYSE: PM) – the world's second-largest cigarette manufacturer."

Best Dividend Picks for 2009, 3Q Update
<>Back at the end of 2008, I was invited to participate in a stock picking competition by selecting 4 stocks. At the time I simply included the highest yielding stocks in my portfolio – Con Edison (ED), Realty Income (O), Phillip Morris International (PM) and Kinder Morgan (KMP). I believe that as a whole, these stocks would provide dependable income for individuals seeking high current income today. These stocks also possess strong dividend growth characteristics as well, which is essential for investors to keep up with inflation if they spend all of their distributions in a given year.
