The three big times bonds made sense in history was the 1929 Great Depression, the early 1980s when yields came rapidly down sooner after from double digits and the 2008 recession. All these had deflation in common. While we may experience a very temporary deflationary shock like in the Covid crash the MO now is to stimulate hard to stop the whole system from imploding. The macro set up for bonds just looks bad going forwards. Sure rates might go down but they are coming down from single digits and they shouldn’t, it’s basically financial repression with these levels of inflation. Not to mention the debasement to infinity that all developed countries are trapped in now.

Micheal Burry's MO has always been "I maybe early but I'm not wrong" all the way back to 2008. He started shorting the housing market in 2005 and almost destroyed his fund til it paid off in 2008 which then he closed up shop.

Depends on if it’s archery or rifle season. Am I in a field or the woods. If rifle season and I’m in a feild the 12 point. Archery season and in the woods the 6 point. This market is like Missouri rifle season only 10 days long. Archery is SEP-DEC. this market is MO’s rifle season. It’s only up for a few days then goes down

DapperGovernment4245

MO has been very nice. EPD is good. VZ is a good dividend but I don’t particularly like the stock same with O. I used to like IRM but it’s gone up so much lately the yield is low and I’m afraid it might be overvalued.

Throwmeaway50472

I perfectly timed my puts last week, bought calls, was expecting it to hit $685-$687 this week during market hours, pre market teased me, should’ve sold at 10 mins after MO, and then have just ridden this slide down These pre market moves are destroying me this past month.

MO also. Real companies with real products AND a dividend.

Of course it is.  This is the Chinese governments MO.  Throw piles of money at whatever they think is the next big thing, corner the market, then use it to "diplomatic" purpose.  The question is...  Will the West fall for it, like they with with RE metals 20 years ago?  I doubt it, but maybe.  BYD can hardly pay to ship vehicles at the prices they sell them for.  With out huge piles of cash from the party BYD dosn't exist...

People talk about “fundamentals” when investing. Revenue growth. Margins. Cash flow. Moats. But there’s one fundamental that’s rarely on the spreadsheet — the capacity to addict. $MO sells nicotine. $META sells dopamine. Different chemicals, same business model: hook the user, own the habit. Wall Street calls it “engagement.” Economists call it “network effects.” Let’s call it what it is — dependence. And yes, the fundamentals are all there: recurring revenue, pricing power, insane margins. The problem isn’t that these aren’t good businesses. It’s that they’re too good at monetizing human weakness. So no, I don’t buy $META for the same reason I don’t buy $MO. Because when addiction becomes a feature, the moral downside is bigger than the financial upside.

misscarlasue

I’m 67 and recently retired in Texas. 30+years in public education. I’m looking for passive income through dividends. I’m currently looking for a new job so I can aggressively add to my portfolio and pay off my house. Right now I’m invested in KO, PG, MO, and KMI for growth and ETFs O, SCHD, JEPI, SPYI, ULTY, and QYLD. I literally just started in September and have gotten almost $40 in dividends to reinvest so far. I have a long way to go but I hope I’m on the right path. Any suggestions, critiques, comments, or anything else is welcomed!

misscarlasue

I may have to check some of those out. I just started a portfolio for dividends because I want to be prepared to replace social security if needed. I have SCHD; SPYI; JEPI; O; ULTY; plus KO, MO, PG for growth. Only have a few thousand in since September but so far I’ve reinvested around $40 lol. So I guess off to a good start.

This has been Trump's MO for a while, even during his first term. In 2018-2019, he constantly berated Powell to shift blame for a deteriorating economy, but then COVID blew up and shifted the narrative.

It's his MO. The result would have always been better if he just listened to the magic conch.

OP was worried about seeing articles about weak tobacco demand and sliding sales. Since he made this post a few hours after MO's earnings report, I assume he's looking at the many news articles that get automatically spit out right after a company's press release. That's why I recommended he put in the \~30-40 minutes to actually read/listen to the company's earnings call/ analyst Q&A, it's a way better source of information than the AI-summarized slop in those articles. Not sure what you're trying to suggest. Management should be trying to sell you on their good statistics, that's their job. It's the job of the investor/analyst to interpret that data. Verifying the data provided is accurate and not misleading is a basic part of due diligence. Lucky for OP, I've found Gifford (current CEO) to be pretty candid. During his \~5 years I've found him to usually give detailed answers to analysts and be relatively straightforward. He's a welcome change from prior MO CEO, who I thought came across as insincere, since I felt he spoke vaguely and used a lot of puffy language. Hated listening to his calls back then.

Unique-Machine5602

MO might also try to sell you on what good statistics they had this quarter, year, YoY, etc. You also want to listen to someone reputable discuss what the data means from a perspective of someone who might care less if the forecast looks good or bad.

So far the MO dividend has been great and technically I’m still not under on the stock. It’s just hard to watch it lose 13% value in a week and wipe out almost $1k worth of unrealized gains.

bmf1989

Sold all my MO and BTI earlier this year for a nice return, could gladly buy them back if they drop back down to where they were a year and a half ago. I’d say right now their sitting about at a fair price.

EscortSportage

Literally bought the MO dip today, I’ve bought and sold MO may times in the past and always made money. Honestly should have just held all these years.

CraftedMany_

I'd avoid the articles and just get it from the source. MO had an earnings call this morning, you can directly listen to what management said and/or read a transcript, then decide how you feel about it. For MO, the smoke-able segment is why you want to buy it. Even with the forecasted ~10% annual volume declines, price increases will be able to keep operating income growing in low single digits for the foreseeable future (Marlboro brand). Much harder to tell what will happen with smokeless. On! is the bright spot in oral tobacco and has great margins, but on the numbers it's just replacing MST's declining market share. The big X-Factor for smokeless is how aggressively the FDA will try to enforce ban on illegally imported e-vapor from China. We're seeing some action and coordination with CBP, but I'm skeptical that it makes too much of a dent. IMO - nobody's smokeless segment will get a share in the US market until the illegal products are taken off the market (other than oral tobacco, of course).

Dare me to buy MO calls?

pibbleberrier

Given that their CEO has no ambition for autonomous driving and their entire MO is a price war to the bottom. At about 12pe BYD is price appropriately (actually a bit high) as a car company. A low margin industry with out much room for imagination While BYD is solid otherwise. But It is not a competitor to TSLA who’s valuation is obvious beyond what they put as a “just another car manufacture” A fair value would put BYD at Toyota PE which means it’s has some ways to go down. The chart reflect this and it’s been down only since they hit last hit their ATH The entire world could drive BYD and the price of the stock would stay stagnant. People need to understand this when they compare BYD with TSLA.

DGB31988

There will be a correction with all the tech stocks at some point but I think we have another 3-5 years of the run where each company is up a few percent every week. And then when it does correct I think it will correct to a level that is higher than today’s numbers. Anytime I see correction it’s weekly. Every day like today is usually owed up by a day of people taking gains and putting money into my 2-3% div yield stocks. When NVDA is up 3%. The next day it’s down 2% and my MMM, MO, PG are up a similar amount. It’s like clockwork. This week I think will be more gains as earnings are posting plus interest rates will likely get lowered but honestly that shit is all baked in at this point, half point here and there. Only way that would change if it’s some wild full point or 2 swing (that isn’t going to happen). The folks that take money out aren’t going to go into cash in their mattress. They are just going to buy dividend paying energy and consumer staples. So the overall market should stay strong. I think the western economies will stay strong until all the boomer money runs out which is some point several decades down the road after the millennials and gen Zrs deplete that giant inherited 50 trillion dollar nest egg through taxes and debt repayment. The concerning thing to me is unemployment. All these companies posting amazing quarters are laying off thousands of employees. That doesn’t bode well for the economy in my opinion and AI is still a novelty. However I do think there is a lot of get off my lawn stuff that we last heard when computers started to become a thing. This tech is revolutionary and is only going to continue to improve.

Ok-Passenger198

100%. It’s not WSB content but I buy MO every paycheck. When the market tanked on Liberation Day, MO popped and has stayed high. It’s like a gold hedge that pays dividends.

PaperHandsTheDip

The MO was to go balls deep when it was under \~22. I more or less doubled down between 20 & 21.

WoodYouIfYouCould

Very very true. Small shares position. Not holding for mega gains. Conservative, which I know does not fit the MO here...

jrex035

I'm 50/50 on whether they nuke the filibuster or Dems cave as the economic pressure mounts. Nuking the filibuster makes sense considering the national power grab already underway by Republicans trying to cement permanent one party rule, but then again it's hard to bet against Democrats folding under pressure that's pretty much their entire MO.

Yeah - de-escalation is really this administration's MO...

Scannerguy3000

Reasonable question. Only very recently … like this week, I’m trying something new. I think of it like “fish traps” for dividend aristocrats. Keep about 100-200 on hand of MO, XOM, TGT, et. One side of the basket is low delta CSPs. It will only collect new shares if they are very cheap. On the other side, selling CCs. It will only let shares escape if they are really big sales. If inventory gets low (100) tighten up the CCs and loosen up the CSP. If inventory gets too high, tighten up CSPs and loosen up CCs. Income / gains from: 1. CSP premiums. 2. CC premiums. 3. Dividends. 4. Appreciation 5. Constantly lowering the ACB Now, well established dividend payers tend to be low premiums. So it’s an empirical question how the total yield on this entire strategy will pay off. I’ve got a few different portfolios right now of about equal size, so I’m going to try this in one and see how it compares.

OnionHeaded

I’ve just started and I have different reasons and goals for them. I had some INTC I sold for x2 and it helped my portfolio after a NFLX hit (still hoping to rally out of) But I have 1 more INTC over 300 days @24 and already x3 so who knows about that bad boy. I know sale price explodes during high IV. I don’t think I’ll ever set a % unless it’s a low volatility stock. There are many variables and ways to play LEAPS my problem is I experiment with everything so I’ll be trying lots of strategies. My MO now is after a good company falls, red is the time to buy. High volatility like IREN is gonna be good I have 34strike, over a year but the volatility has made me almost sell it already when it popped up like x3. I can’t wait til BTC rally and it goes nuts.

rithsleeper

Absolutely 100%. So is Mary Kay…. Yet everyone who sells products makes money. Just some more than others. It’s all about doing what gives the best results vs what sounds on paper to give best results. Kind of our country’s MO right now.

hudson701

It ain't going anywhere near $52 are you serious? INTC will do what most blue chip large caps do premarket - grind slowly and slowly upwards, no pullback then a violent v-shape pattern sell-off on MO back to yesterday's midrange value around 36-38. You're cooked.

BudSpanka

Man I feel you. Like with 4 other stocks i watched it go up crazy for consecutive days, always almost hoping 'oh for sure it HAS to fkin dip now' but noo just shoots up more and more while I am holding bags of stocks that actually have a reasonable chart and foundation. Same here, finally pulled the trigger almost at the top since everybody was just gushing over the 'inevitable short squeeze on MO' welp. Guess we are all just dumb idiots after all

Bauchigawauwou

yeah but the expected move was at least 5%, so you're getting iv crushed, maybe it will go down a little more but it surely recovers when the maverick enterpeneur says he buys them before MO. Never buy puts on tsla on earnings, buy them in late december / early january - thank me later.

Merry-Vandal

My plan, in case it helps anyone: Holding BYND until MO and CLOSELY watching AM PM for **stability** and **volume**. If price stabilizes higher than $2.90 (ish) AND volume increases, I will sell if I reach a trigger of $3.90 - $4.50 allowing me to break even. If it demonstrates this AND goes higher tomorrow, I will manually watch it and pull the trigger at a modest profit %. If it stabilizes ABOVE $3.00 after MO but volume decreases, I will likely sell unless news indicates otherwise or other technical signal. If volume drops significantly and price continues to fall, I will probably sell unless news, etc, otherwise.

BudSpanka

Yeah I was 50/50 on going in with 5k at 0.6 Would have made me more profit than my whole 'real'portfolio over the last years but nope instead I watched and bought the top when everyone was assuring short squeeze on MO. I am such a fkin idiot noob lol haha

saeculorum

I think you should be more precise what your goal is. A lot of retirees want a less volatile portfolio. Less volatile portfolios increase the feasible withdrawal rate from portfolios, which tends to be appreciated by retirees. However, of all the ticker symbols you list, only one (MO) has historically been more stable than a simple USA large cap (ie, S&P500) portfolio *on a risk adjusted basis.*

Patient-Being7155

I have been investing in the stock market for about 30 years and as you can imagine, I have accumulated many shares of stocks. I have mainly bought and held Dividend Aristocrats. Some of my big stock positions include ABBV(3700 shares), MCD(2550 shares) MO(7400 shares). I have begun selling covered calls on the stocks that I own. If my stocks were to be assigned, I would be subjected to hefty capital gains taxes. So, I have written covered calls that are out of the money with about 2-4 weeks time to expiration., to lower my risk of getting assigned. The premiums are anemic but my goal is to earn about $1,000 every two weeks on my positions. Am I expecting too much? Is my strategy correct?
