Altria Group Inc (MO) is a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment.

While recent financial performance has been weak, the company's strong brand, pricing power, and improving cigarette volume trends provide a solid foundation for recovery.
