Shares of $BTI and $MO formed new ATH today. Both stocks are up over 25% year to date and also pay a dividend of over 7%. I had both $BTI and $MOin my portfolio until the beginning of the summer . I sold $BTI and kept $MO as I trust Altria and don't need more than $BTI and two tobacco stocks in my portfolio.
What about you? Do you prefer $BTI or $MO and why?

Shares of $CVS are already down nearly 30% this year . I'm bought and held. I'm not gonna buy back in. The company's fundamentals have deteriorated significantly. I will monitor the company and decide whether to hold on or sell based on year-end results.
At what level do you think the S&P 500 will close 2024? At the end of 2023, analysts were predicting it would reach +-5,000 points in '24, this has been gradually adjusted and now estimates are at 5,600-5,700. How do you see it? Will the rest of the year be calmer and steadier?

They're not doing too well, but I've bought the stock. If the stock goes down, I'd still buy.
