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.

Tesla sales jump after months of boycotts
Tesla reported a surprise increase in sales in the third quarter as the electric car maker likely benefited from a rush by consumers to take advantage of a $7,500 credit before it expired on Sept. 30. The company reported Thursday that sales in the three months through September rose 7% compared to the same period a year ago. The gain follows two quarters of steep declines as people turned off by CEO Elon Musk’s foray into right-wing politics avoided buying his company’s cars and even protested at some dealerships. Sales rose to 497,099 vehicles, compared with 462,890 in the same period last year.
