One of the things they are also doing is pushing senior citizens to use ATM machines. Some people just like the teller experience and large amount of cash right away instead of multiple trips to the ATM

Priority for this government in Grand Bahama should be the Airport. because the sale of the Grand Lucayan depends on what Gov does with the Airport and how fast they fix it to world class standards. Alraedy Electra America Hospitality Group is seeking assurances/guarantees from the Government that it will do whatever is necessary to fix Grand Bahama International Airport in the timeline required. There appears to be a delay in closing of the sale because of the state of the Airport.

The two interviewee's in this article are speaking just like two rich men who will never need NIB

it is a know fact that PLP governments historically NEVER give ordinary bahamians and retail investors a chance at equity ownership when ever their policies structure companies. The government get its 49% stake which they claim is ownership for the ordinary bahamians where the funds go into government coffers. But is that truly spreading the wealth ? I say the answer is no. Successive FNM administrations have made it possible for retail investors to own shares directly in Arawak cay port, Nassau cruise port and there were plans to sell Aliv Government 49% stake to retail investors by the last FNM administration. The Christie administration did this same mess with BTC, 49% for the government, nothing for the retail investors and now retail investors will miss out on equity ownership in this new carbon credit entity because of the greedy new day PLP . Just take look at all the IPO's from Cable Bahamas in the 90's to Commonwealth Bank and all the others since 2000, They were all under FNM administrations. So the question remans, who really is looking out for the small man ?

i agree with you .....those american lawyers like to put their nose in every thing. Let spain send spanish lawyers ....Bahamas Laws has precedent in matters such as this.

Mr Butler this is the oper tune time for Aliv to make a huge profit with its five year operating history by allowing its bond holders to convert their series A and series B bonds to ordinary shares thus reducing its dept and increasing Cable Bahamas profitability substantially, Dividends paymens can then resume for Cable Bahamas immediately.

The only thing that confuses me is how come the share prices on those startup companies on the local crowd funding website ArawakX comes to the market with higher price valuations than the price of companies with long established histories and profitable track records ....like the ones on BISX are much lower especially after stock splits

I concur with your post ..life aint suppose to be about the constant adding of stress to people lives. Thats why many people cant find the true meaning of why they are here on earth. Their lives have little purpose because of the constant demands and societal pressures. Thats why Crime including the white collar variety is so rampant.
