Seeking Alpha Author Ian Bezek joins Cheddar to discuss why Molson Coors stock is down 20% this year. As other alcohol companies are surging at least 30%, Bezek explores why Molson Coors fell behind. He believes the first reason may be that it's got a "merger hangover." Molson Coors made a huge purchase last year, buying the MillerCoors assets that Anheuser-Busch had to sell for anti-trust reasons as part of its merger with SABMiller. He believes eventually this merger will positively effect Molson Coors sales, but it hasn't panned out yet. Plus, Bezek talks about Molson Coors' stronghold on the craft beer industry. It's the #2 brewer in the U.S. and the UK and because of that has strong potential to turn around in 2018.

US businesses that rely on Chinese imports express relief and anxiety
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
