When Skies Are Grey

Seems Portugal is fooked too - linkage

And what happens then when Peter Whipp throws his company in to the mix too....more competition? Driving down prices and margins until someone gives in? Revert back to monopoly again. Ah the cycle of free markets economics makes me feel warm inside!

Slow down yessir......who is the pension fund guaranteed by???

Indeed. The events around the world of the past few years has shown us that Governments will accept the concept of free market economics until it reaches a political tipping point. Interventionist policies then come in to play. Bank bail outs, car company bail outs in the US, quantative easing, the list goes on.

That's a little harsh on the staff and the pension holders.....sack the board maybe?!?!?!

I guess it does when the re-finance with the Portuguese banks came around.....squeeky bum time?? Its the pension fund that I feel the most sympathy for...people who properly grafted for the company who will get shafted the most.

Such as?? I hear St Tropez is lovely this time of year!!

You can say what you like about my posts....but dont you EVER diss the monorails!!

Be fair his job is on the line if SP goes under. Also it is not as if he is CEO of a public company and is employed to lead and set the company's vision and direction, or a company in which he has a majority stake and could do likewise. The company basically has one shareholder who will be dictating the tune that Woodward as CEO has to dance to. He may be wellish paid, I have no idea, but ultimatly he is probably little more than just an employee doing his employers bidding. I wouldnt be crying too many tears for Mr Woodward.....his nest has already been nicely feathered. Its the pension holders, those who actually grafted for the company for years and years that I would be concerned for.

There is certainly an element of petulance in the man's tone.....

All this reference to Macquarrie....are they still involved. I thought their minor shareholding was sold some while ago....

its surely now time for...........

Dear lord....

Havent seen the film but the book is bleak...a great diescription of a desolated wold, but man the ending is sad! Not ashamed to admit I shed a little tear...I blame the hormones!
