. If you had bought a share of Philip Morris for a (split-adjusted) price of $0.50 a share in 1977, you will now be getting FOUR TIMES THAT AMOUNT EVERY YEAR -- as dividends! How do you know that INFY wont give u the same return in 2020 if u bot it today????? Hind sight????????

DIPY: I thought that U R a socially conscious investor.I thought investing in MO is antipodal to your personality and your pristine views on environment, hygiene, personal habits etc. U disappoint me. Do U mean to say that U don't care if other people get cancer as long as U are not asking them to smoke and MO is just another investment. Please explain your position. JPR

Personally, I don't listen to Batra or Huff and the likes. I might scan these books now and again while at the book stores but that is about it. I did not know Batra had a new book out. One thing for the guy, he practiced what he preached. I remember he sold his house, move into an apt. etc. essentially went into cash after his book came out. Saw his interview once... As for INFY, I don't own it and have no plans to ever own it. Hell, I thought it was expensive when it was around 50. On the other hand, there are people who'd have no hesitation jumping in.
