Lamest Headline Of The Day…

Drudge is currently running this screamer…

COCA-COLA PROFIT FALLS AFTER DROP IN SALES…

Econ 101?

Comments

Coke has been very aggressive in buying out local borrowers.  It seems that they may have over leveraged themselves.

The other thing is they have a large fleet of trucks.  With the price of fuel they’re bound to be squeezed.  On the other hand, it’s a very competitive industry and it’s difficult for them to raise prices.

That’s hardly a bad thing.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

AFTER DROP IN SALES


"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

“As a conservative, I will not be overly enthusiastic about voting for John McCain on November 4 - but I will be sprinting to the polling place to do so!”

True, but there’s probably other factors there as well.  They’re leveraging has probably made them more vulnerable to downturns.  At the same time they had the sales drop their fuels costs are skyrocketing.

They could just raise their prices to make up the difference. Nanny Pelosi says it will work!
