The U.S. and Mexico share more than a big stretch of border. They share a big waistline too. And some of what is plaguing Mexico�� blossoming obesity problem is the great-tasting real sugar formula of Mexico�� Coca-Cola. The New York Times called it The Cult of Mexican Coca-Cola. The problem is deeper than any one beverage and any one food.
Still, sweet drinks and junk food are a place to start. So Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has proposed taking a knife to the fat by taxing heavily sweetened soft drinks. That would combat the country�� weight and diabetes problems, he claims.
There�� even a chance it will take effect. Mexico�� lower House has approved the soft drink tax of 1 peso (8 US cents) per liter and a 5% excise tax on high-calorie packaged foods like potato chips, peanut butter and sweetened breakfast cereals. The Mexican Senate is expected to pass both measures. Still, a media campaign suggests otherwise.
It should be no surprise that Mr. Peña Nieto has angered some big players. Some of Mexico�� biggest companies are involved. Take Femsa, which makes and distributes Coca-Cola and conveniently owns the Oxxo convenience stores. Femsa and Bimbo are two of Mexico�� 19 largest public companies, according to Forbes 2013 list Global 2000 Largest Companies. Grupo Bimbo owns Sara Lee, Entenmann��, Boboli and Thomas��English Muffins.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Katie Spence]
Who will rule the sky?
Boeing and Airbus have been rivals for some time, with both companies attempting to dominate the mini-jumbo market. The A350-1000 has had slow sales to start, but ir recently took a swing at Boeing's 777's thanks to an $6 billion order from longtime Boeing customer British Airways. More importantly, this order marked a upward tick in sales as Air Lease (NYSE: AL ) also purchased five A350-1000s, and other airlines have starting to show interest in doing the same. Considering Airbus markets the A350-1000 as a 777 replacement, I'm guessing Boeing is feeling a little bruised.�

Advisors' Opinion:- [By DailyFinance Staff]
LM Otero, AP The housing market has been leading the economic recovery, but have housing stocks hit the ceiling? They're jumping today after a very bullish report on housing starts: New construction projects last month topped the 1 million annual rate for the time since before the financial crisis began in 2008. That's lifted shares of leading homebuilders by two to four percent today, adding to the huge gains over the past year. KB Homes (KBH), Pulte (PHA) and Hovnanian (HOV) have all doubled in price over the past year. Lennar (LEN) is up 44 percent, D.R. Horton (DHI) is up 47 percent and Toll Brothers (TOL) 33 percent. Those gains have prompted several other builders to go public this year. Taylor Morrison Home (TMHC), Tri Pointe, and William Lyon Home have all moved higher since their IPOs. And even though there's plenty of optimism that housing will continue to lead the broader economic recovery, there's some concern that these stocks may slow down. Homebuilder stocks can no longer be considered cheap. So some analysts see alternate routes for investors looking to play the housing boom. One way is through home-improvement retailers, which benefit from sales of both new and existing homes. Other plays include lumber, furniture and appliance companies. It's also worth noting that today's report on home construction showed that starts of single-family homes actually declined in March. It was the more volatile multi-family sector that led the advance. But there may be some stock market opportunities in REITs – real estate investment trusts – which focus on apartments. Among the biggest ones are Post Properties, Essex Property Trust and Associated Estates. They make money from collecting monthly rents. And these stocks generally trade below the value of the properties they own. Even some builders known for single-family homes are moving into the multi-family segment. Lennar announced in January that it plans to enter the apartment rental mar
