Cheese and crackers man...haven't you done any corporate work?
Of course I have. I was mostly was writing about individual investors. But there is a reason Suntory bought Jim Beam at this time. Suntory feels right now the dollar is stronger than the yen. When Japan, and the yen, go down in the next few years. they will still be getting dollars from Jim Beam. When Japan is on the bottom, they can sell Jim Beam if they want, for more valuable dollars, and buy up cheap yen assets.
