It's all about building a Global Market. It's all about making money. It's all about shareholders.

AB 52 week low = $45.55. Stock puchase at $70. If you bought at $45.55 you just made 53% on your investment.

Even if you bought at $60, you still made 16% on your investment.

People are going to make money folks. That's how the game is played.

With the dollar being worth so little compared to the Euro and other world currencies, it's no surprise. Most of the same people who think it's such a tragedy have no problems filling their Toyota with gas from Saudi Arabia and driving over to shop at Target, thereby sending more money to Japan, the Mid East, and France.

The biggest transfer of wealth in history is happening now and will continue until this country is enslaved to the rest of the world. Pax Americana is dead because America doesn't care anymore. I believe in the next 20 years we will see more people begin to emigrate from the USA than are trying to get in.

Oh well. I don't drink Bud anyway. Gimme some Boulevard Pale! At least InBev has brought Stella Artois to most respectable establishments in the US.

Mitsubishi bought Rockefeller Center in late 80s, then sold it 15 years later for 1/10th of the money it paid for. The loss of Mitsubishi became the gain of the US. Nobody plays financial games better than the US. I think you are over concerned just like people were when Rockefeller Center was sold.

BTW, nobody plays financial games worse than the US. I don't need to remind you of the deteriorating sub-prime crisis, right.

As long as shareholders and investors are making money, that's all that matters in business now.

That's reality. Globalism and a weak dollar.

I thought it sucked when Molsons went to Coors. To the point I changed brands after 30 years.
