“This InBev’s For You.” That doesn’t sound right. “This Stella’s For You.” That doesn’t sound right either.

Hopefully, this will be the last time I mention how much I dislike rumors about buyout deals being used to sell newspapers and increase stock prices. I doubt it.

Maybe the InBev / Anheuser Busch deal finally gets done or maybe it just keeps going stale like when it was rumored in February 2007 (click here) or when it was rumored in October 2007 (click here) or when it was rumored in February 2008 (click here).

I love beer - I hate stock rumors. If this deal doesn’t happen, I suspect there will be a few investors crying in their beers over the drop in BUD stock.
