we just noticed that Singapore picked up some ten billion
UBS shares in connection with the subprime fiasco. Everyone
talks about China, which of course is true but there is so much
liquidity in Asia and the Middle East so I could forsee a
scenario that an outfit like Tamasek jumps in but they
will require
a) a solid mining operator. Not necessarily a big one -
certainly not the House of Sleaze. Here
comes Agnico to mind as # 1 partner choice to Temasek
b) also Temasek would need a bit more political assurance
from the Ecua government - this can be done easilyas
Teasek is government controlled with some 200 bill assetsl
Agnico hear me??
Happy Holidays
