Glad you think he has a plan. Those shares are arse wiping paper right now. So long as his plan allows me to sell them at cost or above eh? Hard work this capitalism gig.

Mind you, in a few short hours I shall be in Singapore where the media aren't really to the dirty digger's like or style. An example of where government interference goes too far the other way. Mind you, nobody seems too upset that a lesbian kiss in Sex and the City was edited out for their tv network or that British guy was released from jail e other day for saying the place was Disneyland with the death sentence.

A free press is important. It is the disgusting efforts to satisfy purile interest in the misfortune of others that is risking such freedoms. Where I am going, everybody smiles and seems happy. Is is because they think their dictatorship government is benign? Is it because they think reporters won't be looking in their dustbins if tier child is murdered? Is it because there is less opportunity to let off steam and shout your mouth off as we seem to enjoy doing?

More to the point, I wouldn't be posting this message once I get there in case the IP is monitored. Wouldn't want my hosts to think I am not grateful for their business climate...
