All I can say is.....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! I think we could see 40 tomorrow. I agree with a previous post, that we may see a dividend increase and the share buy back continued now. Hopefully, it will be mostly up hill from here. Rob.

Great news indeed. We have prevented what would have gone down in history as the biggest daylight robbery during peacetime. Whom did the scoundrels in the government think they were duping? As for the alleged "massive ad campaign by the tobacco companies", all I saw was a single advertisement shown occasionally on TV with a simple message about the ridiculousness of the whole exercise and which served to expose the charlatans for what they really are. In fact, all the claims about cigarettes being addictive can now be turned against those bureaucratic idiots -- how can we justify taking more and more money from the poor fellas who have gotten "addicted" to cigarettes and who will be forced to buy cigarettes no matter what? And how can we justify riding on the backs of those with lung cancer merely to get a few percentage points off our capital gains taxes? And now I heard that the same bozos want to scrap the old tax system without even having a clue about what they are going to replace it with! Sheesh! Go MO!!!! The stock has gone nowhere for the last couple of years, but during the next 10 years we will witness stellar performance from this one for sure. Dipy.
