A variety of Heinz products are seen at a convenience store in Golden, Colorado February 28, 2006. H.J. Heinz Co. on Tuesday posted a 23 percent drop in net profit, and fell short of Wall Street estimates, as its tax rate rose and the stronger dollar cut into the value of overseas sales.

Wow, it took 17 post to get "schadenfreude" up
I would have thought that would have been part of the headline!
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. And I use that term loosely
How did you feel when Heinz posted a 23% drop in profit?
Yes they did:
Pittsburgh, PA, March 22, 2004 – In light of some misleading speculation, the H. J. Heinz Company would like to make clear that neither Mrs. Teresa Heinz Kerry, Senator
John Kerry nor any member of their family is involved in the management or board of the H. J. Heinz Company (NYSE:HNZ). They have no involvement in the Heinz® Ketchup
business or any of the company’s other brands or products.

Your first post to me # 15.
I don't need to "reduce you to idiocy", you have done that without my help.
No I don't own Heinz stock, but I do have Heinz Ketchup in my fridge..I DON'T LIKE YOUR JUMP TO CONCLUSION ATTITUDE..YOU HAVE YET TO SHOW ME A DIRECT STATEMENT WHERE I LAUGHED AT AMERICANS LOSING JOBS.. IF THERE IS ANY KNEE JERKING GOING ON AROUND HERE, IT IS YOU BUNNY SLIPPERS.
It's quite a "coincidence" that Kofi Annan was greeted* at the Pittsburgh Airport by the Chairman/CEO of the Heinz Corporation toodled across town to get a humanitarian award from the Heinz Fund, then toodled across town to deliver a Heinz Lecture that attacked Bush.
SS sez: Who is drinking the Koold aid?
Bunny, you jumped to conclusions first..with this statement...To: AmericanMade1776
Frankly I don't see anything to cheer about. American company (of which Terezzzazza owns a mini amount of) is having a hard time keeping its head above water. I don't see what the fun is about.

...Now show me the statement...where I started a laugh thread on the loss of American Jobs???????
You are not very logical are you?
Company goes down the tube = jobs go down the tube. But then, I never gave you any credit for understanding the elements of business anyway.
What do you do? Dig turnips?
How many other American businesses do you wish death to?
Bunny.....tsk , tsk, tsk...glad I do not have you for a trader....you suck!
Regardless of the bordere issue, people flew of the handle based on PERCEPTIONS as opposed to FACTS.
Pres. Bush being slow on the border: FACT.
Pres. Bush selling security to the terrorist Ay-rabs: PERCEPTION.
How is this port issue any different from some dumb@$$ liberal belief that Republicans are elitist and rich is beyond me. They are both based on ignorant perceptions.
Hahaha! You don't even know what a trader is, Turnip Guy. We are not stockbrokers ... moron.
Your welcome. As the days pass, I find myself losing my cool and reason more and more. Too many traitors, perverts, and scum to the left, too many despots, tyrants, and tinpot lunatics in the middle, and too many bridge burning, "kill em all", purist executioners to the right.
Taxing. :|
