Greg,

I haven't been posting much lately, but I still check this thread several times a day. I think you are providing some great information which has really got me more interested in researching individual stocks.

One of the sectors that I have not seen mentioned yet is alcohol. I figured it should rank up there with tobacco. I was doing some research on alcohol stocks and came across DEO. The dividend is slightly less than 3.0, but the stock has a pretty good growth record over the last 10 years. It looked to me to be one of the better choices in this industry. Any thoughts about the alcohol industry. I also took a look at BUD, TAP, SAM,HINKY, & PDRDF. SAM has had phenominal growth, but does not pay a dividend.

Thanks
