Are Monsanto and Bayer Going to Take Over the World?
Content Writer Ryan McQueeney and Editor Maddy Johnson take on this week’s biggest news from the investment and financial world.
The hosts started the show with a brief mention of the rather absurd volatility we’ve seen throughout the market this week. September has a reputation for being a tough month for stocks, and that it is really looking to hold true this year.
The first story that Maddy and Ryan covered this week came from Amazon (AMZN) and General Electric ( GE). Building on the Finish Line’s love for the Internet of Things, the hosts chatted about GE’s updated smart appliances that are now compatible with Amazon’s Echo speaker. Could home automation really be the future?

After that, the hosts moved on a rather unfortunate story, at least for American autoworkers. Domestic car giant Ford ( F) announced at its investor day this week that it will begin moving all of its small-car manufacturing from the U.S. to Mexico.

Finally, this week’s biggest story was Bayer’s (BAYRY) $66 billion buyout of Monsanto (MON). The German drug and crop chemicals maker has transformed itself into an agricultural behemoth with its purchase of the world’s largest seeds firm. While this sounds like a good bit of business, Maddy and Ryan look at what it actually means for consumers and smaller companies around the world.
