Default Heinz sold for $23 Billion

Yes, Simply Heinz is delicious.

If I recall, John Kerry's wife was a Heinz heir-wonder how much stock
he/she own/owned in the company? I figure for him to run for President
again. Hopefully someone explains the facts of life to Biden before
then.

I dabbled in the online stock market in a very small way for awhile till
I realized I simply didnt have enough time (or money) to do it properly.
When I read Buffet bought Heinz I thought of the excellent Simply Heinz
ketchup (and John Kerry back in the political inner circle) and realized
I should have seen it coming.

Getting ready to do taxes today and was checking my account. Years ago
my first stock purchase was VMI at $17 a share. I could barely afford
just a few shares. I sold for a tiny profit and it was a fun learning
experience. While checking my account for kicks I looked up current
price of VMI. Gulp $158 a share. Makes me wish I had hocked everything
to buy a large amount of shares.
