6444: Have A Coke And A Smiley Face.

A profitable MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• PepsiCo reported 4Q profits were down. Perhaps the company should turn its new smiley logo into a frown.

• Marriott reported a 4Q loss of $10 million. The hotel corporation will probably recoup the loss via sales of $10 bottles of Pepsi in suite mini-bars.

• Abercrombie & Fitch reported 4Q profits fell 68 percent. Media company Viacom reported 4Q profits dropped 69 percent. Can we get a 70 percent slide?
