Investing in Coca-Cola

There's the main Coca-Cola company - stock symbol KO

Then there is Coca Cola Enterprises which trades as CCE

Then there's FEMSA which trades as FMX

Then there's Coca Cola Hellenic which trades as CCH. CCH was in the news today because they are the largest company in Greece .... and they are moving to Switzerland

Then there's Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated which trades as COKE. Not done yet:

Then there's Coca-Cola Amatil which trades on the Australian Exchange as CCL.

Then there's Embotelladora Andina which trades as AKO-A an AKO-B Complex isn't it! KO is one of my favorite stocks.

Coke to split

Coca-Cola Approves Two-For-One Stock Split

Excerpt:

Coca-Cola approved a two-for-one stock split, doubling the number of its shares outstanding to 11.2 billion from 5.6 billion. The stock split is expected to be effective July 27, with new shares set to be distributed near Aug. 10. At that time, each shareholder of record will double their holding, receiving one additional stock for each share held. The split marks Atlanta-based Coke’s 11th in its 92-year history and the first in 16 years. The company, which makes Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite, among other drinks, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1919. Its stock has since been split 11 times, the first in 1927 and, prior to Tuesday’s split, most recently in 1996.

Unlike purely domestic businesses, companies that do enough foreign business could potentially survive a massive dollar collapse without themselves imploding.
