I'd be happy with LVMH owning Aston.
I've traded Louis Vuitton shares for about ten years now and they are one of the best run conglomerates in Europe. An extremely powerful brand and very solid with buckets of cash.
I guess the first thought of everyone, is for Louis Vuitton style leather interior, but I can assure you they are smarter than that (I hope)

Do you think Dr Bez will stay with Aston, or move to another Ford company?

Depends on how hands-on LVMH are, but If they are smart they shopuld try and hang on to him.
He did after all turn the company around.

persoanlly, I think he will stay.

That list isn't entirely correct according to this.

Actually it is, as LVMH and Diageo have a strategic alliance formed in 1999 to brand share. LVMH still hold control though

No problem at all.

Also just to clarify, this is still pure market speculation. No announment has been made to shareholders.
