“You are talking about millions of dollars going to dictators who are selling their national patrimony in countries where you cannot even get clean water. Bribery is endemic to the human condition. If it cannot be rooted out, then you need to do something, and the F.C.P.A. is that.” |

Again, the colonized colonizing the old colonizer:
| Quote: | | In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, TCL is now required, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on 29 March 2012, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for CWW in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline can be extended with the consent of the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code. |
Cable and Wireless, having laid the first underwater cable connecting Bombay 150 years ago is evidently a trusted brand. What is not trusted however, is the market mechanism for takeover bids. This is one area reform from the last war seems to be working.

Listen to the founder of and co-creator of the final word in RE prices stumble and hem and haw and generally struggle to match his 3-6 mo lagging home price index with the reality of RE prices--now...and then!

From the industry that brought you "location, location, location", and "there's never been a better time to own a home".....now we have "the truth."
The "truth" is that this is not a market that you can in any way shape or form "mark" to. There is a gaping bid/ask.....shadow inventory that itself doesn't exist, unwillingness to fall on the market's sword (who'd a'thunk?) by the average housewife. Wall St. this world is not.

MF Global portfolio being "marked-to-market" today.
Bloodsport: a market far older, and far more primitive.

Two weeks ago the market was apoplectic about inflation and FED inaction. Now it's all where is QEIII. And, you know what?....the market is always right

Everything has its price--but does that mean everything can be bought???
http://www.economist.com/node/18560525?story_id=18560525
| Quote: | ....Another favoured sink for the world’s riches is property. Perhaps China should buy some exclusive Manhattan addresses. Hell, why not buy all of Manhattan? The island’s taxable real estate is worth only $287 billion, according to the New York City government. The properties of Washington, DC, are valued at a piffling $232 billion. China is accustomed to being Washington’s banker. Why not become its landlord instead?
China could also allay its fears about energy, food and military security. Three trillion dollars would buy about 88% of this year’s global oil supply. It would take only $1.87 trillion (at 2009 prices) to buy all of the farmland (and farm buildings) in the continental United States. And China could theoretically buy America’s entire Department of Defence, which has assets worth only $1.9 trillion, according to its 2010 balance-sheet. Much of that figure is land, buildings and investments; the guns, tanks and other military gear are valued at only $413.7 billion.... |
