Dearest most esteemed comrade, compliments of the season to you and yours. There are over 3000 Bahamian shareholders in the cruise port.

Well done. Let this project be the template going forward: always give Bahamians the opportunity to have equity ownership in these tourism projects. The cruise port is a resounding success, half owned by Bahamians and I expect the beach club to be likewise.

Another poor quarter of mediocre results short on profits but as always long on excuses. Shareholders are tired of excuses. How many more years of Mr Bowe’s failed leadership? When will the board exercise its fiduciary obligation to shareholders and end this nightmare? Clearly, Mr. Bowe simply has no inkling of how to manage a successful commercial bank in the Bahamas. For years now with dismal results piled on more dismal results his mantra has been the other commercial banks aren’t doing well either. That no longer holds water as Commonwealth Bank and Bank of the Bahamas produce record net income, grow and expand their loan book. They are thriving while Fidelity bank is languishing. Shareholders have been promised and have waited patiently for 6 years on a share split. 6 years let that sink in. Why does it take 6 years to execute a share spilt? It is past time for new competent leadership. The time for excuses is over.

The cruise ships will gladly connect to the cruise port power supply as that will be cheaper than running their generators while in port.

Please listen to Mr. Bowe, he is a specialist in regression. Just ask FBB.

PLP is in a real pickle: Do you call an election before the continued deterioration in the economy or do you wait until the civil servants’ salary increase is paid in December?

So $175million annually to bacswn🤔. When is the public share offering so all Bahamians can take part or is this all for me baby?

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.

This rebate is joke, how about providing electricity that does not fail when we have a 20mph wind?
