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.

Every one in Nassau looking for increase so its time to pack up ya georgie bundle and go live off grid in Mayguana

Just seize that beautyfull home the MP from long island bought through shirley park avenue and convert it into a shelter for women. Case closed. $500,000 could be used for furniture, utilities, expansion and other incidentals

Since the new lane is midway between potters cay and the montaque fish dock .....lets just call it Crawfish alley as we already have a dead cat and dog flee alley's

Like Pat Rahming song says....."When Bain Town woman catch afire .....even the devil run. "

Good idea for a 60 megawatt solar power field on Nassau by next year, but do not cut down any more on the forest on NP .....instead utilize the acres on lake killarney buld a floating solar power plant.
