Its good that these new private companies are finally giving small retail investors a chance to buy in with Equity ownership. My only questions are ?, 1) Is this now happening because of pressures or mandated stipulations form the government? 2) Why not allow retail investors to have direct buy in VIA an IPO like the institutional investors and pension funds do ? 3) Why place retail investors in funds like the "Bahamas Investment Fund" and the new "Bahamas Energy fund" when there can be true price discovery in the value of the shares if they are all listed on the BISX and buyers and sellers determine the value of the shares

You are right, how does the saying goes "Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely" The present black crab syndrome is nothing new, it was preceded by an unending social order that sir Lynden spoke about in his famous "Bend or break speech". Today that social order has changed its face very little. It has morphed into a sophisticated form that rears its head in board rooms, Bar rooms and behind some prominent gates. There are many acting as modern-day uncle toms to facilitate their hidden agenda. Like the saying goes "Every man for himself, god for us all" but it the least amoung us who need a bigger piece of the economic pie.

No body talks about how the UBP government upon the pending and immanent realization of losing the government in the 60:s decided to divide large parcels of land all over the Bahamas, especially new providence beginning from 1962, thus putting the principles of this development and other white Bahamians in the position they are in today. The land in this development was bought back then for a few thousand dollars and is now being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few square feet. Another good example is the land in Eleuthera that Disney cruise line just bought for nine million dollars (Light house point) was bought back then for a measly fifty thousand dollars. So the headache they are experiencing is just karma for the financial roadblocks they have historically placed on the black masses.

Looks like Mackey Street in front of the Mell Don mall

well, ya see Davis and Cooper building new airports and roads and clinics in their constituencies. Its sad to see long island in this state. The PLP aint checking for yall

Doc sands is right ......just read Mr: Miller Terry letter in the letters section......i urge Mr: Miller, take to the airwaves, get the environmental people involved. Go online with a petition against the destruction of this vital ecosystem. Your vision of Earth village must not die. The Perpall track area could be for the Nassau what many areas of Jamaica has become. An ecological green peace full area for the many thousands of tourists who looking for new experiences in Nassau, with nature trails for bird watching and a mini zoo featuring many Bahamian native wildlife including snakes and flamingoes. Continue your fight to save this area. Lets hope the PLP destruction plans do not take place in the next two years, for this is one reason they should be kicked out.

Minnis is so right on this, hopefully his lawyer team will be able to make something happen for the retail investors. i think the Nassau Cruise Port shares should have not been place in the BIF mutual fund. Instead they should have been listed on BISX so that there could be true price discovery. Minnis had a hand in the decision to place them in that mutual fund.

Acting Port Controller Berne Wright needs to be fired because he can't seams to clean up potters cay and remove those sunkin vessels

Government claims that they own most of the Land and purchased the rest from Frankie Wilson ... Where this fella come from ?
