?RUMORS?, GB, PLEASE PARDON ME, BUT, my impression, is that this thread is populated with professionals and many wise and talented others. It is not my impression, that we deal with , nor does this thread perpetuate "rumors". "...good sources..." ???? you say? hmmmmmmm! Thank you, but I will PASS on your most generous offer of "...check ..." your record. dk

Buying WEN makes no sense. I don't see MO getting into the restaurant business. PEP is at least an interesting speculation, but I don't see it happening for a variety of reasons. If MO temporarily suspended increasing its dividend and buying back shares until the punitive legislation is resolved one way or another, why should they make a major acquisition at this point in time? In short: Neither of these Rumors make any sense and are far from dealing with the Reality of the predicament MO finds itself in today.
