On the business page of the TW today there is a clip article advising that Japan has purchased one of our drug manufacturers.  Then it is added that a British insurance company was to purchase one of our insurance companies for in excess of 35 billion dollars.

It is noted on the page that the dollar rose against the euro.

Now in view of the drug manufacturing company by Japan that would be a secure investment to purchase it with unsecured paper in the wake of Medicare now under scrutiny for medicines one blindly pays for.

The insurance company which normally write variable rate home loans is secured because there is no more land being made which increases the value of the dollar as demand of it increases in exchange of the lands.

We vote on bond issues to just dump a little over 3.5 million dollars on the desk so the school can buy some gadgets while many are not coming up to the learning standards set by the state.  What is missing.  Learning technology?  Or keep printing those dollars until we run out of land.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

OSIP (OSI Pharmaceuticals) is a $3.5 billion market cap name that is hardly material in the pharma world. The purchase by Astellas out of Japan is a good deal for the shareholders of OSIP as the price was 51% higher than the previous days close. This deal still may not go through as OSIP has invoked a poison pill defense for which Astellas is suing to stop.

The insurance company you speak of is AIG. They owe us, the taxpayer, a sh*tload of money and they better be selling businesses to repay us. Besides, the business unit they are selling sells life insurance in Asia and is based in Hong Kong. Oh, and the buyer, Prudential is based in Britain but has a large presence here in the states... and they don't write variable rate home loans..

Tell me again what you are concerned about?

The stories that you fellows post and the article printed in the paper is 180 degrees apart. Wouldn’t a lot of the confusion be eliminated if you called the editor and told him that he should check with you before printing about sales and transfers between the big players in dollars?

or you could avoid being confused by not extrapolating your own negative agenda on top of legitimate business stories.  Wink

An addition to the AIG sale, Pru shareholders and analysts are concerned that they are overpaying for the AIG asset.... win for us!

Well the little click won again as a very small group has continued to put the blindfold on the citizens of BOK-TULSA for the sake of the children an open checkbook to be filled in when it is decided how many $1400 sweepers that will be needed.  The “No child left behind” only includes those born of the click or have the instilled desire to learn, who will not require the eloquent buildings and sport arenas.  The small minority of registered voters voting reflects the apathy of the citizen who do not realize they have been programmed to refrain from voting by professionals.  It was all done for the children so that they can be subject to such debts throughout  their adulthood.  It becomes more difficult to shake the horse collar installed on them in the passing of time.

The bond issues are limited on use for salaries but it releases general funds so they can be used for salaries.

Shadows does have a point because horizontal markets create a gating factor. Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that a revolutionary team empowers the ownership of vertical markets.

We're making forward progress towards a task-oriented politics by implementing compliant benefit that is both strategic and proactive. Proactive revenues provide an indication of the quality-oriented critical paths in education. Clearly we need to take the issue of goals offline. In order to assure that the scenario establishes an action item for the relationship, we must be certain that the scenario is justified, and as a country, we have a firm grip on emerging debt.

We must be sure that solutions attack the problem of political resource allocation. Only a zero-defect-generation philosophy encapsulates a positive eventuality.

Is that clear?

Your point is well made.  Now if you can explain to the children John Steinbeck’s prize winning “Grapes of Wrath” then they may understand why there are grumpy old men trying to keep it from reoccurring .  Be sure they understand the jobs in the vineyards are already filled this time around.
