I went from recommending Altria as a Sell last to now being a Strong Buy, with strong assumptions for its future revenue and earnings.

I'm confident that Altria's top-line erosion can be curtailed and that it will swing into positive territory by the middle of next year.

This article explains why I like MO better than PM, following the so-called rule of 10xEBT (earnings before taxes).
