    Eli - how'd you miss the news on ELN? Absolutely Huge! Maybe because it was issued overnight. Reply

    Is there any legal way to trade WWY for some other stock, thus deferring the capital gains mess? Reply

    Status Report: Wrigley / Mars [view article]
    How do you project closing of the Wrigley-Mars deal as soon as August 2008 when, at the 28 April 2008 press conference, Bill Wrigley projected 6-12 months for closing? Reply

    Richard,

    You're absolutely right. Gross advises AGAINST TIPS because of the risk of unnaturally low CPI numbers. I have fixed the summary.

    Thanks for your feedback!     Reply

    C'mon, if you're going to paraphrase Bill Gross, do so with more care. Here is what he wrote:

    "What are the investment ramifications? With global headline inflation now at 7% there is a need for new global investment solutions, a role that PIMCO is more than willing (and able) to provide. In this role we would suggest: 1) Treasury bonds are obviously not to be favored because of their negative (unreal) real yields. 2) U.S. TIPS, while affording headline CPI protection, risk the delusion of an artificially low inflation number as well. 3) On the other hand, commodity-based assets as well as foreign equities whose P/Es are better grounded with local CPI and nominal bond yield comparisons should be excellent candidates. 4) These assets should in turn be denominated in currencies that demonstrate authentic real growth and inflation rates, that while high, at least are credible. 5) Developing, BRIC-like economies are obvious choices for investment dollars."

    Note what he really said about TIPS.

    Redo that please.     Reply

    PBJ: Food and Beverage Stocks Stand Out Despite Consumer Slowdown [view article]
    I have started building a posn. in the Cadbury spin-off Dr Pepper/Snapple (DPS) I would think this and maybe a few other ETF's would have to start adding this to their portfolios in 3-6 months, that should help give the stock good support and raise the price somewhat. Reply

    General Discussion on WWY
    I am an amateur investor currently holding WWY shares. How is it that WWY will be bought for $80/share, in a deal that looks clean and inevitable, yet WWY is trading at only $76 today. Is there still risk this transaction will not go? Reply

    Could the BCE/Ontario Teachers Union Deal Use JPMorgan's Help? [view article]
    We would need to know what the terms of the Mars financing deal are and compare that to the other deals to decide if it would trade below par. The old deals are underpriced and undercovenanted for today's market, so if the old deals are to get done they need to be reworked, i.e. pricing significantly increased and structure redone. Reply

    Could the BCE/Ontario Teachers Union Deal Use JPMorgan's Help? [view article]
    The failure to file the amended agreement with the CRTC was not "innocuous" as the writer mentions. In fact, there are signs that it indicates disagreement on CRTC requirements among the different buyers. They may well use CRTC regulatory stubbornness as an excuse to exit the deal claiming they have used their "best efforts" and thereby owe no penalty. Drafting of requiredCRTC revisions would not have taken more than a few days maximum. The buyers' regulatory lawyers had one month. There is something smelling very foul in this deal which BCE and Teachers are trying hush for the moment. Reply

    Hershey: Ripe for Cadbury's Picking [view article]
    "Originally Cadbury agreed to spin-off its beverage unit in order to get the deal done. That might not be a concession Hershey has the ability to push for this time around."

    What do you mean here? Cadbury IS spinning off its NA Beverage unit as Dr Pepper Snapple Group with shares (not ADR's) listed on the NYSE - probable symbol DPS. Cadbury-Schweppes will be renamed Cadbury PLC and listed on the LSE. ADR's will trade on the NYSE under the symbol CBY not the old CSG.

    Upshot is that Hershey's will not have to consider the beveragew unit in your scenario as they would be dealing with Cadbury PLC

    Hersheys already makes Cadbury chocolates in the US so it makes sense but I suspect that Cadbury PLC will itself be a very attractive target for larger corporations - more attractive than Hershey.     Reply

    Isn't the smart play Cadbury now, as stockholders will inherit the beverage co. in the spinoff? Reply

    Hershey's had been making Cadbury products in the US for for some time now as you can see from the link below,

    Other potential suitors could be Nestle and Unilever.     Reply
