Q: Hello 5i!
Can you explain the Cognex stock split to me?
Specifically: "Cognex Corp - ‍board approved a two-for-one split of company’s common stock, payable in form of a stock dividend"
I understand the usual two for one but what about the "payable in the form of a dividend"?
Thank you
Dave​

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.
