says the man with a no bid fuel contract for the entire Bahamas

Who gives a shit about his contract, Strawman. His logic is sound. You must be a 5 year old stuck in a 3 year old body. Idiot.

LOL. You must be on Snake's payroll.

I never confused you with having intelligence. Thank you for continually proving me accurate.

Get "wealth" investing on BISX? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Now THAT is funny. Maybe if ordinary Bahamians were allowed to invest in the US stock market 25 years ago instead of gambling at web shops for almost 3 decades then you'd have a whole lot more Bahamian millionaires right now.....but BISX? You've gotta be kidding, it moves slower than a snail, you'll be dead or decrepit by the time you see any life changing returns, that's if the company you're investing in doesn't go belly up first. Not to mention if you can even tolerate the archaic process to buy and sell shares, or do they have an app for that now? Doubt it. The snake must be looking for someone to buy his holdings at a high price 🐍, hilarious.

So, Bahamians must "create real wealth" even though only a handful of Bahamians are not living paycheck to paycheck. Interesting.
But, little to say about the waste fraud, and utter abuse of our national treasure by do-nothing obese politicians who are robbing this country blind?
Nothing to say about the ability of an average Bahamian to make a comfortable living by actually producing something of value at a reasonable wage?
Has BOB paid back ALL its losses? Yet, now it is profitable? Please!
Was BOB treated any differently than any other business in The Bahamas?
Answer: Yes. Usually when a Bahamian business goes bankrupt, they don't get bailed out.
What percentage of the Bahamian population owns stock?
What percentage of the Bahamian population owns stock?
So, the only way to "wealth" is by investing? Not, by working hard?
Have BOB line employees seen an increase in their salaries, commensurate with this new found BOB prosperity? Yes, or no?
Why cannot BOB pay their employees a really good wage, thus encouraging them to invest and to save?
What is the average salary of a BOB teller?
Have all the politicians who took out loans from BOB paid them back in their entirety?
How does a person who remains so aloof from average Bahamians get to have a say in the political process? Money, and money alone! For himself.
If we wanted more money circulating and stimulating the Bahamian economy, shouldn't those who spend the greatest portion of their money into the Bahamian economy be a priority?
Any first year economics student knows that the multiplier effect of giving a rich person a dollar is much lower than giving it to a poor person.
Meaning that while we have to import teachers, nurses and doctors, because we pay our own so frigging little that they flee this country, is OK.
But our first priority should be to encourage the rich to invest wisely? is this a sound national economic strategy?
If money is the only criteria to speak on important economic matters, perhaps we could
find a few others, some maybe in jail, for making lots of money. This is where we are as a country. We listen to people with money no matter if they are a decent person, or a web shop owner, or not.
How do you get the name Snake as a national moniker?

You raise a lot of interesting and very valid points. However, so many of these comments are an attack on the messenger (many of these aspersions concerning Mr. Wilson may be perfectly true) while neglecting to acknowledge that the essence of what Mr. Wilson says are also true. The Bank of the Bahamas turnaround has been tremendous and should be celebrated. They were too big to fail, received public preferential treatment but they made so far a resounding success of that opportunity. Also despite its drawbacks BISX is a wonderful opportunity for wealth creation for ordinary Bahamians. It is possible starting with very little to invest in BISX and generate over a period of time fantastic returns. I know of a person who started from nothing and through diligent, wise investing in BISX companies over a relatively short period of time was able to retire at a very young age. I know many people who work hard and are broke. Sadly working hard does not guarantee success. The secret is not to work harder but smarter, and a key to wealth creation in our Bahamas is to save and to smartly invest in wealth creation opportunities like equity shares available on BISX, just like Mr. Wilson said.

Exactly, Don ANthony. Frankie's message, whatever you may think of him, is very sound.

Taxpayers were forced by government to bail out Bank of The Bahamas (BoB) after all of the corrupt lending to government officials and their cronies that occurred while Paul McWeeney was its managing director.

And now the cunning and conniving Snake is sucking up to BoB and the other commercial banks for millions and millions of dollars of high risk loans to fund his 'theft' of our nation's entire energy sector without putting any of his own great personal wealth at risk.

The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) learned its lesson the hard way when it funded Snake's dubious real estate development projects in South Eleuthera. RBC, then managed by Ross McDonald, quickly found itself forced by Snake to become a stakeholder rather than a lender in his development activities much to the dismay of RBC's executive suite in Toronto. RBC ended up bearing significant costs and losses that should have been entirely borne by the devious Snake.

Red herring, Strawman. The context of his quote is clear: investing in securities has the potential to yield greater returns than debt. Which is a universally accepted standard. I swear, ya'll niggas dumb as rocks.

Then why is Snake running around town begging the banks to fund his monopolistic acquisition of our nation's energy sector rather than creating a public company to raise the necessary funds? Could it be because most Bahamians are now either afraid or smart enough not to invest any of their hard earned money in the securities of any kind of public enterprise controlled by Snake and/or Tony Ferguson?

No, not an attack on the messenger.
None of my concerns were addressed.
Were they?
Yes, if you know people have started broke and ended up rich is a statistical accident, if you are serious about numbers.
Quit defending a sordid, dog eat dog system.
The trend is a growing disparity between rich and poor. Here in The Bahamas and globally.
Is this fair? Is this Christian?
EVERY social indicator for a "good life" fails under rising inequality.
This IS the trend, and has been for quite some time.
Not because those at the top are working smarter, but because the system is rigged.
Every educated, honest person can understand this.
I follow the words of Martin Luther King Jr. when he said we need "a radical revolution of values".
We live in a country that cannot provide decent services of any kind to benefit Bahamians.
This country is crumbling under the weight of indebtedness.
This is simple math.
We do not take care of our own. Period.
But, in sure many of the richest Bahamians, no matter how they got their money, hustle into church every Saturday and Sunday, so that we can see that they are good Christians.

so whatever happened to all those unsecured millions they loaned out to MPs and cronies alike… the “special purpose vehicle”, could only be looking at BoB separately from that… hundreds of millions of bad loans just forgotten? I know the potcake happy for sure.

Keep writing of millions of dollars to past, current and future politicians delinquent and non-performing loans and then selling to corrupt Investors for pennies on the dollar, paying the Web shop Boys very little to no interest on huge daily deposits and balances that other banks cannot accept, even with a C average you should make a profit. Especially if the books maybe tweaked.

We live in a world where character no longer matters.
So long as we invest wisely..................................
No reward for arguing with fools.
