>Nestle's skincare unit attracts heavy interest FWIW- On the corporate side. I can see Beiersdorf and Japan's Kao being interested in this skin care business. Possible J&J for their Neutrogena skin care line. J&J the inventor of Retin-A . The ingredient widely used in skin care products today. Hyaluronic acid is now being marketed widely in skin care and cosmetics. I also think P & G would be interested, but IMO Nestles L'Oreal interests set a conflict of interest with P & G's Oil of Olay line. RE- Interesting on Coffee of late--A business Nestles wants to grow. The price of coffee futures has hit new lows.

i think this fad about vegan burgers is a bit ludicrous. one can buy beans or lentils very cheaply cook them up up yourself add onions breadcrumbs egg if you like . then fry em in the oil of your choice. Im guessing that one bag of lentils at a cost of under $2 could make 25-50 burgers. its far from being rocket science. one of the problems eating in restaurants is that its difficult to control for the type of oil used. .but when all is said and done how many vegans are there? and how many of them can afford to eat in restaurants, and would order a vegan burger if they did? The only foods i feel i have to to a restaurant to eat these days is bbq and sushi. bidu drops again along with the rest of my portfolio. its like trying to catch a falling knife which i am expert at doing. this seems to be the nature of a value stock facing problems that appear to be of a short term nature. while you are waiting something that seems cheap already can easily drop another 30% and bidu looks like it has been cheap for the last 5 years.and has dropped around 50% since then. perhaps many of the shareholders have thrown in the towel after the first quarterly loss and everyone else is waiting for positive news. I think most retailers will have tough sailing ahead including macys and home shopping network. everything but food and stuff i need right away I look on line for. and amazon is just perfect. the only time i go to department stores is to shop for clearance stuff. and i doubt they make too much money on that..
