RUMOR ALERT: BROWN-FORMAN/BACARDI MERGER

Once again, rumors are surfacing that Brown-Forman and Bacardi may form a possible merger. This rumor has been going around for sometime, but is gaining some steam in the press (as rumors so often do) and has landed itself in the April edition of Forbes. In an article by Matthew Swibel, the author points out that B-F has gone down in share price as of late due to the Herradura acquisition and would benefit greatly from a merger with Bacardi.
