game would be over for all U.S manufacturers with BT purchase of xxii... IMHO with China market...xxii is too big for BT to pass up.
Screw U.S. manufacturers and U.S. Market...40% of world market in China...
BT in China with VLN cigs would be like AAPL selling iPhone in China, at full price
Think big picture...Keep your eye on the ball...
All this fuss with U.S. market....it's like SH worrying if AAPL will be securing the Argentina Market instead of focusing on China(a little exaggerated) but you get my point?
IMHO...the closer we get to BT ...the closer we get to the holy grail...and pronto!
