Bending Some Rules While Upholding Others Unwisely?

July 7, 2011

Analysis of:RT: Moodys' Portugal Debt Evaluation | rt.com

The EU is at a cross roads. Top level political criticism by the likes of German Finance Minister Schauble of the right for ratings agencies to speak freely does not portend towards the EU being an open and dynamic project. Rather the worry is that the EU establishment is going backwards in terms of all rights when faced with a financial crisis which they themselves helped create.

May 30, 2011

Analysis of:Polkomtel To Be Sold by Auction | www.warsawvoice.pl

"Plus" Polkomtel, a privately held Polish telco is still in the process of being sold. The rather long-drawn out sales process presumably reflects relative buyer apathy for a company which has appeared at best dysfunctional to some clients.Bidders may wish to consider their options. After all the only telco holding stock currently is itself a global market leader and apparently happy to sell out of Polkomtel despite the many underlying attractions to investing in Poland's growing economy.
