Is Sears Holdings On a Beer Run for Budweiser?

The rumors surrounding Sears Holdings' (SHLD) next acquisition have become worse than the media debacle over Joe Torre being fired from the Yankees.

The latest speculation being tossed around is a bid for Anheuser-Busch (BUD), which ValueBlogger.com did a great analysis on why this scenario will unlikely happen.

It is almost certain Edward Lampert, Chairman of the Board, is shopping for new acquisitions to grow his Sears empire but chances are the information will not come public until absolutely necessary.

He is one of the few people to have been granted the ability by the SEC to delay his 13F filings. In other words, he is playing his cards very close to his chest which is the reason I am not running out to buy BUD shares.

One thing for certain is that Director Richard Perry has just purchased about $5.5 million in SHLD as the stock approached its 52-week high. This is a sign of confidence from the inside if you ask me.
