Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Many investors expect big tobacco to get into Marijuana stocks. Perhaps liability issues might deter them, but they will need to make up for lost sales and diversify.

I seek your opinion on whether it is worth buying one of the following :
British American Tobacco , Phillip Morris (PM.us), or Japan Tobacco.
I am looking for a company with minimal exposure to the US market. I wonder if PM now has significant adverse exposure to the domestic US market after its acquisition of Reynolds.
I’d be thankful for your insight on which ( ---IF ANY---) would be a good choice for dividend growth over 3 or more years.
If you believe none are worth it right now, I would appreciate your thumbs down , if applicable.

Q: Thank you for continued great support and unbiased opinions.

I plotted a few favourite 5i Technology stocks with high P/Es along with the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:VGT). Except for CSU (crazy +ve outlier),
they all cluster closely in returns over the long-term (i.e. 15+ years).
So, why bet on a few horses with such risk (P/E > 50) when one can own the track, make about the same return, with much less risk (P/E = 6.6)?

I think we all understand the advantages of ETFs in general, but considering the high P/Es specifically in the Tech sector, it really begs the question above. Thank you.
