>>>Lets short Coke and Pepsi!<<< Good call Commander. Don't lets forget a year ago when NG was $15, all the whining that came out of the soft drink folks about the increased cost of packaging. I lots of things stacking up against the soft drink biz. I wonder if Buffett is still long Coke. I never liked that call, as I saw Coke as being of no or negative value to society. Buffett of course made the correct financial call. After a while Buffett became a self fulling prophecy. I have to take the Arab stand point regarding crude prices for a second. The US gets all huffy when the cost to operate SUVs and plastic bottling for soft drinks for picnics goes through the roof. If I am an Arab, would I give a rat's a&^. Would I cry about no Coke at the roller skating rink or baseball stadium??? I don't think so. We used to get milk in glass bottles from a weekly Sealtest truck when I was a kid. You saved the bottles for return in a crate for the next week when the man came back with fresh milk. Happy memoried. I wouldn't mind seeing those days come back.
