I recently read Dividend Investing for Dummies. Among many other things, it suggested picking stocks with a debt/equity ratio of < or = 1. I've always thought of Altria as a great dividend stock but I see they have a ratio of 235. With a recent price of $25, does this mean (25 x 235) $5875 worth of debt per each share of stock I own? Am I wrong? How else can I read this?
