This Bud's For Me...

When I bought BUD 2 1/2 years ago at $40 & change, I thought it
would keep chugging, (no pun), along...it has had a checkered chart
since then, but it kept tacking north.

I hope this InBev bid pushes it up to near offer price tomorrow...
~25 buck a share gain is nice. Wish I had bought my usual
thou shares, not the 500 I did.

The funny thing is, I've lost my taste for beer the last several
years and I doubt I drink 24 blts a year, (as opposed to the
case I tried to drink several times, at one sitting, in my Ute, ).

I'll take the dough and run though; gotta keep the portfolio
above water: times are tough on the horizon, me thinks.

500 shares are better than none

That's a decent return. Don't dwell on the coulda's. But you don't need me to tell you that.

I'm sure you'll uncork a suitable beverage to celebrate your market savviness.

Let me guess, you work for CMBS?

Hedge funds have done one thing in the time they have been around; f*cked over the general "dumb populace"
While hedge fund managers get rich, they PLAY with your money, and cause a ton of market volatility. That industry need a ton of regulation

No CMBS stands for commercial mortgage back securities.
The spread on these bonds have gone off the charts and is a real opportunity.
I have knowledge of commercial real estate and trying to help.
