Beuatiful move by Philip Morris today. No better solution to cleanse the sour taste from the L.A. case, then a beautiful victory today. At least we still have jurors out there with common sense. Lets just hope that those in Miami will be of a similar mindset. Go MO!!!

BTW, I'm a student at UW-Madison, an incredibly leftist leaning campus. .. arghhh. Just read an editorial, created by the editorial board, in our main student newspaper. . . ripping on UW Madison for its investments in Unocal, and Philip Morris. . . went as far as to state "Philip Morris represents nothing good about America, or Wisconsin." What a bunch of bologna. Use of tobacco has occured for millenia. . . and adverse health effects have been noted since the EARLY 1600's, by a British royal commission. Philip Morris is merely providing a supply for the age old demand, and its the miserable lack of self-responsibilty that is pervading this country that is hurting the company.

The editorial was so meaningless. . Philip Morris representing nothing good about Wisconsin? Even if they have an inherant problem with cigarettes. . . the beer and meat industries (Miller, and Oscar Mayer) are a HUGE part of Wisconsin's heritage. The imbeciles. Go MO!!!

I had to come up for air on this one. Congrats all. I'm still in, and still picking up more shares, but can't talk too much, no time. The fed jury decision in favor of tobacco was huge. That will set a good precedent. I'm telling you, the courts will destroy the settlement and all the "hard work" of those f***ing plaintiffs attorneys'!!!

Ha ha ha!

CHOO CHOO BABY! The MOney train is pulling out of the station!
