Which is the Better Stock? T or PM and Why?

The market is a fickle friend or foe. You need to be asking either a fortune teller or a CEO insider participating in illegal activities to know for sure. You can be sure they will not answer the question for free. Hindsight is 20–20.
“ATT went up due to the introduction of 4G.”
“ATT went down due to high investor expectations of 4G.”

Any monkey can criticize and a comment has no value unless there is an answer or a recommended solution so, here’s my crystal ball answer:
There is lots of competition for ATT and every product they make has, can, and will be ripped off by China until they figure out it is better to make it themselves.
PM’s product line is domestically produced and relies upon local farming with strong lobbyist connections. It is hard for that combination to be stolen.
Three years from now all the ATT products will be outdated. Three years from now PM products will be just as addictive.

thanks! During the next few years you would make more in dividends with which one? Will PM 2/1 split ? Or just MO as Cramer has been saying for a few years.

If you are in any way an ethical investor, you may choose a communications company over a tobacco company.

@ericnueman I agree that love, faith and hope are more valuable than gold with the minor exception of when you’re inside a grocery store.
In that case I’d prefer some gold or silver. But if you can do just as well with love and faith when you’re hungry I’d go for it.

Yea: Life for me is like that. You see it in nature. Birds get a free ride. Have you ever noticed how they have to get up at 4;30 am and earn it by singing and also work hard to get out and find it, but it’s given them for free! Nice to have a reply from you. My first day sharing on this site!
