Sometimes owing stocks that don't go down very much (the steady eddies) -- is every bit as good as owning stocks that go up. In a poopie market that is.

They're like having an employee that isn't the best worker or even the smartest - but they show up EVERY DAY without fail... and put in a a days work. They're RELIABLE.
And Charles Schwab ratings rank Altria as a D.

Have an opinion on that? Political?
