if nestle wanted to play, it could play, simple as that. it would are to divest chocolate. it's interested in chewing gum. it could play if it wants to, one would have to believe that's still unlikely. another potential player would have to be hershey's. you say that but you look at the market value of hershey. less than $8 billion. understand that trust ownership structure makes doing anything over there very, very difficult and wonder how in the world hershey would be able to mount any sort of a bid that would top kraft's, were if it not at least in partnership with the likes of nestle. is that possible? you have to wonder about degrees of difficulty here. finally there, is pepsi, that would be a great story. indra versus irene rosenfeld battling it out. that's unlikely. that's a lot of money not to mention a an adviser here to kraft is the key adviser to pepsi, one would have to imagine they've weighed that out previously potentially. as for the possible offer for kra kraft, theory is. $4.912 in cash. 0.2589 new kraft shares per cadbury share. 14.5 trailing ebitda will s

you look at the nestles and danone, they're all looking over their shoulders to see if they should belooking over their shoulders. >> we'll see the hype, not so convinced. it has been over the run of history a lot of consolidation in the food and drink industry. the fashion these days is to focus on particular product categories. and if you look at the way the industry's structured, you have a set of pretty focussed companies out there. we'll definitely see some share price over the next few days on the back of this. in terms of what we'll see in terms of cadbury, i would be cautious. >> it's interesting because these are consumer-related companies we're talking about. and the pessimists out there have been stay away from anything that has to do with the consumer at the moment. we're not seeing this consumer-led recovery story take hold yet. you're looking at jobless figures still continuing to go higher although they have moderated a bit. they're still pretty hefty out there. and yet, i mean nestle and cadbury rely on them. >> there's money on the table if you can unlock particularly

i think what we are trying to focus on is companies like nestle, other emerging markets in china like brazil and central europe. companies that have exposure to growing consumer markets. africa, for example. companies that can get the kind of modest increases in prices that are going to be so rare in a world where distress seem to be happy about the opportunities they see coming over the next three to six months. >> you like non-china emerging markets with global brands like nestle? >> exactly. we are looking at by sectors, companies in consumer staple sector, emerging market banks, and we are looking at some of the smaller, technology-driven companies in the health care center. >> you're cringing. >> it scares me. when i look at europe and deflation and inflation in europe, and zero population growth in russia. the russian oil pipeline, they better add pipelines. i see china's industrial revolution the way we were at the turn of the century. we are an outsource nation. i want to invest in china. i want to invest in markets that are growth oriented where i'm seeing it down. >> i could

trust for nestle would be tough.s just unclear whether they want to play here for what would be the chewing gum franchise. >> chocolate has a lot of people saying why didn't hershey and nestle get together. >> you're right, it is a possibility. doing something on its own seems to be a nonstarter. does it try to go to private equity? hershey would probably want to play if it could figure out a way to do so. >> their corporate structure is a mess. they have a board of directors that doesn't answer to the shareholders. they answer to a charity. it's a mess. i don't know why anybody would ever own them. >> one has to wonder if they don't try to play, what are the signals they're sending? we'll see. the franchise they own on kit-kat could be of value. it's hard to see right now where the real possible other bidders are going to come from. these things take time. kraft of course is saying that this is the full, unfair bid, but if they want to own cadbury, they'll have to pay a bit more. the stock trading well above the imp

we have roche, nestle and novartis trading higher here. some positive news for novartis here, the fda approved their high pressure drug, expected to offset some of the revenue losses that we're going to see when blockbuster patrons run out. on the bottom of the index, we're seeing mostly financials, cyclicalities here. the swiss exchange has launched an investigation into ubs for possible breach of the disclosure rules here. we don't have many details on this story, but it probably relates to the late disclosure of some of the subprime losses back in october 2007. probably also about the compensation packages for the former chairman and ceo who left ubs in 2007 and 2008. well, in terms of the subsequents for ubs, this investigation, analysts believe the consequences will probably be minor. well, maybe we will see a small fine for ubs. that's it from the zurich market. now over to adam in singapore. >> thank you very much, carolyn. the japan market was clearly in the red. having said that, coming off the worst levels of the day, we saw a fa

the names of course, nestle being foremost among them. it would have to probably divest the chocolate business of cadbury. does it really want to move in this direction? it has been focused on wellness and health, so it's probably unlikely, but we'll see. hershey, we'll see. they're far smaller than cadbury and it's going to have a deep-pocketed partner to help aid a bid. will it go to private equity? could it get that much from private equity? again, a big question mark. finally, pepsi, not going to happen. although pepsi would have interest, but it is going of its bottlers in two separate deals that are going to cost a lot. it is also focussing more on the wealthy side of its business. this deal now, why, well, primarily because of financing markets. they have opened up considerably over the last year. not a tough one to get from investment-grade companies. >> whether not this is just opening the flood gates. >> cash and stock, no debt. am i reading this right? >> no, kraft will be taking on debts to fund the cash portion, so $8 billion

the means by which we bridge the gap from high school to adult and nestle atop a hill in western new york is the state university of new york. with only about 5,000 students, it's one of the most selective public colleges in the country. the average s.a.t. score of the incoming freshman, 1340. which makes it all the more puzzling why i got in way back when. so today my own personal reunion tour. school just started up again. >> we're in our third week of classes actually. >> is that studying? studying going on? i didn't crack a book until i was here for a month. i headed straight for the gym. this year's volleyball team competitive, just like a certain someone back in the day. just ask the coach. >> you look good. you do. as long as you look good, we play well. >> i love that. that's what i'll tell lester when we get back. i was ready to call it a day. common sense intruded and it was off to class. >> we are a bit late miss jenna. >> a chance to reunit with my toughest professor but most influential and reassure her i did lesharn a thing or two. i can say a day doesn't go by that i d
