The United States Supreme Court decision Monday to hear a case over the validity of President Barack Obama’s recess appointments of three people to the National Labor Relations Board on Jan. 4 will “effectively determine” the constitutionality of Richard Cordray’s appointment as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling.
“The legal validity of any and all actions undertaken by the CFPB are now questionable,” Hensarling (right), a Texas Republican, said in a statement.
Because Obama also attempted to install Cordray as director of the CFPB “on the same day and in the same manner, the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the constitutionality of the NLRB appointments will effectively determine the constitutionality of Cordray’s appointment as well,” Hensarling said.

In other words, being down by 23% year to date, I think it might be the time to start thinking of buying CCU's shares.

This highly successful company became one of financier J. P. Morgan's major consolidation successes in 1902, when it was merged with several other agricultural equipment firms to form International Harvester.

The current descendant of McCormick's reaping innovations bears little resemblance to the company he founded: International Harvester's agricultural-machinery division was sold off in 1984, and Navistar is now known primarily for producing trucks and buses.
