Status Report: Anheuser-Busch - InBev

The US has lost tens of thousands of jobs to overseas competition. Many, many companies here in the US have been purchased by foreign companies...what world are you living in (I’ve witnessed this personally). The US not only provides the rest of the world with a living because we purchase everyone else’s goods but also provide for the worlds security. A simple thank would be nice. How typical of foreigners. Whine, whine, whine…all you have to do is work hard and not complain about not being able to take long vacations or work a little OT.

As for AB, this is a company wrapped in the fabric of America. Kind of like baseball and apple pie. Judging by your comments, I'm thinking your not from these parts and wouldn't have any idea what I'm talking about. You'd rather watch some 3 to 4 hour long game where dudes dressed in silk outer wear chase each other around a field full of nothing kicking a white and black spotted ball only to end their game in a zero - zero score. Anheuser-Busch has 50% of the American market because Americans love their country and theirs nothing more American than watching a football game American style on a Sunday afternoon and drinking a nice cold frosty Bud. If AB's not American anymore...then why support the product. To be honest…there’s not that big a difference between AB products and the rest of the American beers. AB’s currently the last American lager. European beer tasts like…well…goat p%#s. And...if InBev does purchase AB there's going to be lot of disgruntled beer drinkers in this great country that won't buy AB or former AB products (me for one) and InBev can choke on their debt / new purchase. InBev better be very careful on this one…what’s their purchase going to look like when their size of the US market drops from 50% to about 15%??

What a joke all of you are. You'd sell you mother out for a buck. Yes, AB could probably be a MORE profitable company. That's just what Wall Street wants...squeeze every ounce of profit. However, AB's already very profitable and think about all the good the company does around the country. Think about the great jobs the company provides, the charities that it supports, the theme parks that it operates, the Clydesdales, etc. AB is more than just another company...it's part of the American fabric. Maybe you all should have thought twice before you purchased AB stock. Does the stock provide a dividend? From my understanding the stock provides a very good dividend...but because it's not growing in value by leaps and bounds...you all want to cry about it. What a pity...what's next...selling the Statue of Liberty to the Arabs?
