It is ...FYI to Woodsba, A-B is not American owned. It is a publicly traded company owned by its shareholders, e.g., anyone who has access to purchase stock on the NYSE exchange. By the same access, I own (very tiny pieces of) a Mexican Cement company, a Chinese Utility, and a Dutch materials conglomerate. <BR/><BR/>Speaking as an A-B shareholder, I am of two minds. BUD shares have been flatlined for years; the company has not fulfilled its fiduciary duties to shareholders... Inbev has a history of lean process evaluations that drive profits and therefore stock value. Whee-hee - come on down! <BR/><BR/>HOWEVER A-B is a strong company with solid fundamentals, a reasonable dividend, and an unsurpassed brand value. Over the long term BUD as a standalone company (and stock) will do just fine; if I didn't believe that, I would have sold my little piece of the bottle when the buyout was first tendered and the stock jumped. Whoa - stay put!<BR/><BR/>I am, however, concerned with long-term job stability. A-B IS St. Louis, and if InBev succeeds in its takeover, the BUD name will remain as a shadow of its former self.

We had misgivings, and some people quit rather than face the uncertainty.<BR/><BR/>The upshot, after a period of adjustment, is that it's been a great change.
