The passionate, independent, creative leader and figurehead must go and be replaced by, well, someone. But, $150 is a lot of money and if that means your leaving is part of the deal, then so be it. You can use all that free time to count your money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-23641561482254949532012-07-28T12:58:03.536-07:002012-07-28T12:58:03.536-07:00U suk. where my money at?U suk. where my money at?Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-77901184121321110022012-07-27T18:21:18.227-07:002012-07-27T18:21:18.227-07:00Shares of Diageo were up slightly at the end of tr...Shares of Diageo were up slightly at the end of trading today as a result of this acquisition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-57393418232399556592012-07-27T17:21:22.946-07:002012-07-27T17:21:22.946-07:00You are a real piece of work, my friend!

That said, we want to be serious for a moment here and assure the devoted readers of Sku's Recent Eats that there will be absolutely no changes in the staffing or editorial content of this blog going forward. Of course the readers understand that The Street wil expect this acquisition to be accretive to earnings, but I am confident we can harmonize these objectives as shown with previous Diageo acquisitions.

They sold Laddie ...You're point is a good one. They sold Laddie for 58m lbs. I checked the exchange rate and that comes out to almsot $90m in the U.S.. However, it was really 48m lbs. and 10m was debt, but we can ignore this detail for now. My point is, that there were about 60 investors, if split evenly, it comes out to about $1.5m per investor. That was worth it??? Yes, $1.5m is a lot, but not if I'm a private shareholder of the fastest growing distillery in Scotland. Your $150 analogy is a good one in my opinion.Lazernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-39374575153885728712012-07-27T09:10:44.772-07:002012-07-27T09:10:44.772-07:00I just tweeted: "@mattwunderle @SkusRecentEat...I just tweeted: "@mattwunderle @SkusRecentEats I actually support the purchase.

I understand that there's a whiskey "shortage" and we should just stockpile everything we can. I sure hope investing in my 100 cases of Red Stag will pay off soon.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645197662375448990noreply@blogger.com
