Zesty sauces, live TV pauses, and taxman bosses play bit parts in the week of news that is waiting to happen.
Monday
We kick off the new trading week with a little game called Catch Up with Ketchup. H.J. Heinz
Beyond the consistently growing payouts, Heinz has been able to grow through acquisitions, and it's also made some organic moves to grow its already popular product lines, such as adding a spicy variety to its ketchup and even going crazy on the color wheel with its signature tomato condiments. In concert, these moves should serve Heinz well as it continues to gradually inch higher.
