I added to my position today. I personally think that the move today in the general market is a bull trap. Greenspan may cut rates but it won't be enough to rescue earnings for atleast the next two quarters.

It almost seems to me that MO will do better if the market goes down or stays flat. It is a great defensive play and I still think thats where the money will be going. Greenspan also said that the "contagian" seems to be getting worse. I think alot of investors are ignoring that. Deflation looks imminent to me.

Does the fact that MO increased their dividend a few weeks ago signal confidence that a settlement may be on the horizon or do they just have a ton of cash? Any input appreciated.
