Are American Companies Now Up For Grabs?

Trader: I don't know if you've noticed but trade with Asia is one way--into the wind. If Viagra were wanted China would simply copy it, till then the African rhinos are disguising their horns as termite mounds.

Anheuser / InBev: Cooler Heads Prevail

Their timing couldn't be better best business in a recession/depression is alcoholic beverages.

Sticking a flag pin on a beer is an exercise in futility, suds gourmets drink Heineken now anyway. Bud sells to Troops in A-FaG, and Iraq now since we underpay them by a mile---the true disgrace!

So let's all tilt a Stella Artois to China coming to buy Wal-Mart then we'll get some of our poison cat food money back--at least. They don't know it but the Wal-Marts you can't walk to are in big trouble!

Are American Companies Now Up For Grabs?

A company like Inbev is not just stumbling around in the dark.
If you look at history--What Industry/business improves in a recession or depression??
#1 On the list is alcoholic beverages! Do you think they know something we don't??
The dollar is cooked-just stick a fork in it. That's another reason Inbev got a deal they bought with euros which is a 35% discount right in the exchange + lower stock value=bargain.
There is a lot of Bud sold abroad, we'll retain the payroll--I hope, but that amount of trade balance will now go to Belgium, that does not help the dollar!!
