2. It does not include yet ETON, PAL, PNB/Allied Bank
3. p/e at present looks pricey to me
4. LTG at present looks like the local version of ALTRIA and DIAGEO ... cash cows altho fortune tobacco seems to contribute the bulk to ltg's net income (78.22%)
5. how much an impact on ltg will be the implementation of the sin tax law .. i have no idea yet .. in trading ltg then i will just have to play it by ear
