In a Bear Market, you can't be long a better stock than MO. There will be a settlement, share buyback and a dividend increase. To buy dips on MO are wise here- though a recipe for disaster in the broader market. With declines outpacing advancers 2 to 1 over the past couple of weeks, the Great Bull is Dead.

The Smart Money will buy the dip on MO here. The Attorney Generals want an agreement here and the Tobacco Industry can negotiate from strength.
