Just saw on Bloomberg TV that a tobacco deal was basically "done" and would be announced in two weeks. From what I heard it was a 200 billion dollar settlement and protects the companies from any further state lawsuits. I believe it also limits advertising.

I am trying to confirm all of this. If anyone else hears anything please post. I hope my ears weren't deceiving me!

ITS TIME TO MO THEM ALL DOWN!!!!

Just heard it again on Bloomberg. It was quoted from the head of B.A.T.

What do you guys think and is Geoff going on vacation the trigger for this news? :)
