Sad that Canadian writer TR Todd can get rich of the swimming pigs attraction that is authentically Bahamian from his book deal “Pigs of Paradise. and film of the same name.I hope he finds it in his heart to donate some funds to Bahamian charities. Bahamian writers have fallen asleep.

You have described the myriad of problems thats taking place daily in south andros and most family islands in the Bahamas. No dought these problems are only a tip of the iceberg. South Andros has been cursed under the PLP for over 25 years while Sir LOP was prime minister so it does not surprise me that the present opposition MP is so worthless as he is trying to survive himself personally and his hands are tied.Where slackness thrives in a community the mindset of the people become complacent. .Third world mentality.

It is safe to conclude that the New Gaming Taxes being levied by the government has resulted in Sebas choosing to go this route with these two Investment funds rather that a full IPO in island luck. All the local brokerage houses offer mutual funds with fund portfolio class and make up restrictions and requirements by the securities commission being compatible to whats being offered in the Titan Balanced Fund and the Titan fixed income fund...
Short of a full IPO in island Luck these funds are a waste of time

Sheep the day may come when the average Bahamian will only be able to afford land in say North Andros and catch a ferry to Nassau for work. The last Government Mortgage relief programs was a total failure. The present Government wants to only sell service lots mostly in the inner city or crime ridden areas of Nassau. They have not built a single home in two years. But i cant blame them because of the political cronies who got homes and dont want to pay their mortgages or follow the eviction notices. They have completed a few in abaco started by the last government. The pent up demand for affordable homes is very great in Nassau. The only Bahamians who can afford the kind of accomodations Mr Kinsale is sellings are executives, professionals and expats. What about the young 18-25 year old who is just starting out.

Character, reputation, shady financial dealings, Look before you leap. Buyer beware, wise up Bahamians

Bahamians are experiencing gentrification in their own country. We have have been priced out of many areas in Nassau. Paradise island was out of the average man reach from the name changed from Hog island.

‘Big Pharma’ in this country dont want to see their profits decreased in any way especially by a product that the FDA has not approved. The Doc's in goverment will throw their legislative support behind Big Pharma. Like the saying goes "hand go hand come".

Natural health products such as CBD oil are considered micracle products and are proving they are worth their price because of the healing and pain relief they are providing. While the world moves forward and enact legislation to support the use on these products, the Bahamas ambiguous position at this stage of the game is not helpful and maybe even deadly to the people who these products can help. This is a wave that is sweeping the world so government needs to finalize its official position and local pharmaceutical companies need to just accept this new reality.

From a touristic point of view the Bahamas will be affected by the trump tarrif increases on Chinese made products, American citizens will have on average $2500 less in disposable. income in their pockets so travel will be less of a priority. If the Iranian situation gets out of hand and war breaks out, every country economy will be affected negatively. With all the fire power trump is sending to the middle east anything is possible.

The new providence road improvement program caused many businesses to fail and some have never restarted because of the recession.It may not have been as bad but the change in direction for traffic on Blue hill road, market street and even bay street east of east street along with popularity of the marathon mall can all be to blame. A good incentive for the economy would be for the government to reduce tarriffs on all imported cars to 10% in the upcomming budget but the motor dealers associations will cry foul as they seek to protect their bottom line.Small bussiness developement is going to be the key for continued growth because the likes of Baha Mar will now come around any time soon.
