Coke's Going Small. Will It Work? (CPB, KFT, KO)

Coke's Going Small. Will It Work?

On today's edition of MarketFoolery, the daily podcast from The Motley Fool, we discuss the following topics:

Italy is the latest country to get downgraded by Standard & Poor's. How should U.S. investors react to the latest drama in the European markets?
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) is launching a new strategy: smaller packaging with lower prices. Will this help increase U.S. sales?
Speaking of companies adjusting the product size and packaging, one of our analysts has a suggestion for how Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT ) and Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB ) can work together for the benefit of all humankind. Here's hoping someone is listening.

What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!
