only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I’m not terribly bright about finances. I have a nephew who is very interested in this type of thing so someday I’ll have to ask him about the stuff I don’t understand, like what the heck is a futures broker or what’s the difference between a bear market and a bull market. If I remember to ask him.
Anyway, my husband and I own a little bit of stock. Not enough to make us wealthy but a little. We own stock in Anheuser-Busch because my husband likes Budweiser.
Right now, the CEO of A-B, August Busch IV, is trying to dodge a hostile takeover of the company that his family has run for five generations. The company leveraging the takeover, InBev SA, is based in Belgium while Anheuser-Busch is based in St. Louis.
Maybe my opinion doesn’t matter to some business folk since we’re such small players. Nevertheless, we do own stock in this company and we do have an opinion. We want Anheuser-Busch to remain a US owned company. We want it to remain in St. Louis.
