Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE:BUD)

summer is a seasonal plus for BUD would expect a steady gainer to continue. Was @ $50's late 2011

With the model of buying all competition (including craft and faux craft breweries) InBev has shown itself a monster that won't be stopped.

Largest selling domestic beer. Tough times doesn't mean people will cut back on an inexpensive habit or custom. Only reason stock went down is because our gov't doesn't want bud and corona to live under the same roof.

got ahead of it self a bit

TSA top 8 for '13.

As the Super Bowl gets closer, Budweiser publicity will lift the stock.

Less developed nations' income will rise. PE of 16, 1.8% yield.

This company has its sights on global beer domination. It currently has a 25% share of the global market and nearly half of the U.S. market. The company generates enough free cash flow to continue acquiring companies to improve its market share and continue increasing its dividend.

I love the stock. It has great, albeit relatively safe exposure to emerging markets, especially in Latin America. This will only increase when it owns the rest of Modelo.

Bud has performed well of late. They posted better-than-expected profits in the June period. Management attributed the gain to a good showing form Bud Light family and improved results in Brazil. Enhanced operational efficiency ought to bolster results in the 2nd half of the year. The merger with Groupo Modelo should be final in the first quarter of 2013. They are also selling their stake in Crown Imports for $1.8 billion in an effort to mitigate and regulatory hurdles. This will help strengthen their position in the Mexican market.

Budweiser and Stella Artois are starting to appear in upmarket bars around Africa as status brands.

Great company. Buying up huge Mexican brands. Not even a recession can hold back beer consumption.

In good times people drink, in bad times, people drink
