Paul Ryan is expected to become the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Ground Zero for all tax legislation. He is on record as wanting to rewrite the tax code. Obama has previously stated that our corporate tax rates are too high and that he would accept lower rates in exchange for the closing of some loopholes. There may be an opportunity for compromise. The window closes, of course, when the 2016 presidential campaign begins.
Boy, was I naïve. |

P.S. I still didn't see if the OLN/Dow transaction received regulatory approval yet,. I just saw OLN shareholder approval. |

Unfortunately, confrontation and blame is all these clowns in Washington seem to be able to accomplish. When compromise is a bad word, I'm not sure how anything substantial can get done. Very hard to understand, as one of the main purposes of being a Senator or Representative is to find a way to compromise for the good of the nation! |

Maybe a chance for a higher bid on a rather stingy bid IMO. This based on what EZCH stock traded on in the recent past..
P.S. I haven't looked yet to see if there was a shop around clause in the agreement. Welcome to the SITT board. |

Dell/EMC 67 Billion deal
Ab Inbev/Sab/Miller 104 Billion deal
P.S. Altria will have quite a bit of cash to buy back shares or buy something big.
For some reason thinking they might want to add to their wine business and get back into the beer business. It's a small but a fast growing part of the company. Keeping my eyes on Constellation Brands |
