Bluegreen: Can Diamond Finance the Acquisition?

I disagree with the investment banker in this article. With the way the industry is declining due to the impact of the economic crisis now is the PERFECT time for take-overs. Smaller companies don't have the scratch to weather the storm and larger ones who do can buy them out at a discount.

Increased Risks for Miners in Zambia and DRC

Zambia has much larger problems than this. the number one cause of death among children is bad drinking water. They should be negotiating with the mining companies for some sort of trade. IE dig us a well and we'll reduce the windfall taxes on the mining contracts. Mining companies already have the equipment needed to do this sort of thing so its a no brainer. My company Apex Professionals was able to donate $12k last year towards a well in a small community in zambia and it has HUGELY impacted that region. Would love to see more people stepping up to the plate. Thanks for the article it was an interesting read!
