Finding Buying Opportunities #2: Analyzing My Altria / Philip Morris Moves
I received such a great response regarding my previous post on analyzing my Apple (AAPL) trades, that I decided to write a similar post. This post, however, is on a much differently behaving stock(s) when compared to Apple. Apple is a very volatile stock compared to the relatively calm stock movements of Altria (MO) and Philip Morris (PM).
If you aren’t sure why I’m referring to two stocks, Altria recently spun off Philip Morris International. Therefore, most of my trades were for Altria (MO). Owners of Altria now hold shares in both Altria and Philip Morris Int’l.
Okay, enough talk, let’s look at how I built my position over the last few years.

The 20s Money Retirement Plan
While this website has been online for only a short period of time, it is time to make a couple statements regarding the purpose of 20s Money. We are not a website dedicated to just opinions on stocks (there are plenty of those out there, and most can do it better than us) and neither are we experts on remortgages. We are a website dedicated to helping people in their 20s become the investor they need to be to achieve their financial goals.
With that said, it is time to publish our plan for you, a 20-something who wants a bright financial future, to accomplish your goals and have a financially secure future. While we are officially releasing the 20s Money Retirement Plan, this is by no means a final product. It will evolve based on the political and economic landscape of our country and of the world. Consider this the first crack at the comprehensive plan for a person in their 20s to build significant wealth in their lifetime. Let’s begin.

Use Your Tax Rebate Check
While the government’s decision to hand out money to over 130 million American families this week can be debated from numerous angles, it doesn’t change the fact that most of you have money headed your way. The government is hoping that you will spend this money to “stimulate” the economy. As a 20s Money reader, you know that this is an opportunity to continue to position yourself for a better financial future.

Cigarettes, iPhones, and Solar Energy: Connecting Macro Trends with Individual Companies
When looking at specific companies to invest in, there are many factors to consider and research. These factors can be internal characteristics of the company such as management, product line, and growth strategy. There are also external or macroeconomic factors that can impact a stock performance.
While it is important to understand the macroeconomic picture related to the company you are invested in, it is important to note that well run companies can outperform even in an environment that seems to work against the company. Conversely, some companies can under-perform in an environment that is trending in favor of the company. Let’s look at some examples:
