The redevelopment of Ocean cay by MSC marine reserve has been a total transformation of that cay from the derelict state the sand dredging company left it in, to one of a modern paradise of which god has orginally intended it to be with complete restoration of the sea bed and coral reef system. and eco friendly buildings on land. (See video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9-cq28… Ocean cay today is now an example of how mankind destruction of one environment can be rectified.

Baha Mar is Chinese built, what do you expect. wait till the horror stories from the plumbing system is revealed .

"Without vision the people will perish" That's is the exact scenario playing out in freeport today since the death of Sir Jack and Sir Edward. Their decendants are taking taking taking and not reinvesting and bringing in new investors. Freeport has the infrastructure and location on the SE coast of the USA to be the Singapore or Dubai of the Caribbean with deep water port areas.
Fred Smith is absultly correct. Many of us have been saying this shortly after Hannes Babak suckered Sir Jack and the St Georges into making him chairman. This was the beginning of the destruction of Freeport which continues today after the reoeated destruction caused by the many hurricane strikes.. The licensees must act on the strenght of the Hawskbill Creek Agreement and move forward for the benefit of ALL here on Grand Bahama. Fred, like many others, knows for a fact that the Central Government has allways had a hands off approach to Freeport placing the blame for freeports demise on the government is debatable. because the present leadership in the GBPA hasn't a clue as to what to do or how to do it.

You are right, Bahamians simply need to learn to educate themselves about the various investment opportunities that are available at the local brokerage houses. Start saving early, like in their 20s. Transition to investing ASAP, Lead a discipline financial life. Learn about mutual funds and branch into buying dividend paying shares. An individual who learns the secrets on investing should not seek to be popular. Focus on their financial goals by making sacrifices and stick to their plan. The results will be rewarding. I was able to retire at 45 after working in a large corporation for 20yrs by keeping the Banks off my back with their predatory lending practices. That is what is enslaving many Bahamians who at the end of the day are forced to rely on Government pension.

Great Job BPL ….that's what you call progress and deliverance by the FNM government....Leave it up to the all talk no action PLP and the BPL crises would have been going on forever.

Well Well Mr Culmer MP Vaughn Miller is giving his speech and he is still against the town center deal and will vote against the no confidence motion in the PM

Politics may not be a card game but the results can be the same. Brave over playing his hand too soon will result in loosing the game before a half of the cards are delt.

Listed share prices on the Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) continue to move in the opposite direction to their global counterparts. To use ones BISX shares as collateral for Margin loans is like committing personal economic suicide with its immature trading rules.

Mudda you are so right, Sebas wanted to do a full IPO with island luck The Securities Commission frustrated him so much that he had to settle for mutual funds called the Titan Balanced Fund and Titan Fixed Income Fund placed with down market broker dealer Leno.under the name of Investar Securities. Bahamians are beginning to see through these broker dealers and their mutual fund fees for what they are. Scam havens.

MR Potter why offer the mutual fund route when Bahamians can better benefit from the upside growth of BPL share appreciation if you were to offer an IPO to Bahamians just like you British will enjoy when and if oil is discovered in our waters. Even a Bahamian BDR derivative of BPL shares would be a better bet for Bahamian investors in the long run if oil is discovered.

Why treat Bahamians like second class citizens in their own country with a resource that may be discovered in their own country while the many British share holders in BPC enjoy the full benefit. BISX has been existence for over almost twenty years and our capitol market is sufficiently developed with experienced broker dealers who can make an IPO happen that would benefit Bahamian investors much more.
