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.

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
