Real Estate in Panama is climbing in vaue almost daily.  When we moved here a year ago we had an option on our place for 199,000.00 we opted out and it's now listed for 250,000.00  There are over 200 new residential building going up in the city twenty stories or more.  One can only guess when or where it will end but there is still time to buy right and make an profit.  WIth the approved expansion of the canal the  incoming construction workers will provide an excellent opportunity for rental income.  As well as for foreign workers for the new water treatment being built for the city.

The AP government and SemIndia have announced the setting up of a $3-billion (Rs 13,500 crore) project to manufacture semiconductors used in computers, mobile phones and other digital devices at a 1,200-acre site near the upcoming Hyderabad international airport, 40km from the city.\n\nTwo other semi conductors makers Nano Tech and Cypress Semiconductor have evinced interest in locating their bases in the FabCity and negotiations are on to woo some more semiconductor companies.\n\nChennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, have been hotly pursuing the project. While work on the first phase of the SemIndia project, at an investment of $1 billion, would begin next month, the second phase would have an overall investment of $2 billion. However, within months an Assembly Test Mark Pack Plant used by chipmaker and Intel's main rival AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) will be set up. AMD is SemIndia's technology partner.\n\nState chief minister Dr Y S Rajashekhara Reddy, SemIndia chairman Vinod K. Agarwal, STPI director B V Naidu, and venture capitalist Pratap Kondumuri, said this was one the largest investments ever made in the country in the technology sector and would have the potential for a spin-off effect of drawing more companies.\n\nGovernment officials said this is as a first step towards India becoming a $33.6-billion semiconductor market employing about 36 lakh people by the year 2015, as projected by consultants Frost & Sullivan.\n\nThough the officials did not divulge the exact details of the equity structure, the project may have 50 per cent equity from promoters and strategic partners and 50 per cent debt component. Given its capital-intensive nature, the investment by strategic partners would be crucial. SemIndia also expects to support Broadcomm's chip requirements.\n\nDr Agarwal said STPI had discussed the project with the three southern states and while TN had shown little enthusiasm for it, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh had hotly contested to have the project located in their respective states. He said the support from Dr Reddy and his team, and from union minister for IT and communication Dayanidhi Maran had clinched the deal in favour of AP.\n\nMaran told reporters that the Andhra Pradesh government had promised to provide subsidy, power and water, besides making available 1,200 acres of land required for the project. He added that the AP government had even promised accommodation to key officials at the posh Jubilee Hills area in Hyderabad. As the project required a huge quantum of water for the reverse osmosis and water treatment plants, the state government has promised them enough water.\n\nMaran said the Fab City project has the capacity to provide employment to over 15 lakh people by 2015. But this talent pool has to become available. He said the Indian Semiconductor Association should come forward to provide this skilled workforce which the project will need in its second phase.\n\nHe said that though India was a late starter in the semi conductor race it would catch up soon as the coming years would be crucial for the Indian semiconductor industry as a lot of foreign majors were entering India, promising huge investment over the next couple of years.\n\n"AMD has already agreed to come in and is transferring the microprocessor technology to SemIndia. Nokia has agreed to set up a manufacturing plant in Chennai. Even Motorola and Siemens send this article to a friendare coming in," Maran added. The centre as well as state governments need to wake up to these calls in a proactive manner, he added.

According to Forbes, the Sultan is worth only 20 billion right now compared to Gates at 50 billion.\n\nI'm not sure what the 40 billion inheritance comes from that the person above mentioned, but things can lose value.  Gates used to worth almost 100 billion, so 40 isn't that much if it was from a while back and went down in value.

Given the rising post cold war competition (and cooperation!) among the US, the EU, Russia, China, India, etc. it's very feasible. Current projects point towards the year of 2030, and even if they're overdue, it should still be within our lifetime.

Do you know my friend that Numismatics (Coin/Note collection) is a big time hobby and investment too. So would suggest if you are not in desparate need of money then preserve them somewhere this will make this collections valuable in some time. However if you want to get rid of this go ahead and advertise in classified and one the coin collector will love to purchase it at reasonable rate.\n\n\n\nJust one frank question have actually checked what all you have because there is nothing called Bahrain Riyals as it is Bahrain Dinar.

The site is open to the world, and there is plenty of evidence to show people outside the borders of the USA are using it. It's true, the world exists outside the borders of the USA! ;-)

Protection of our domestic borders are probably the weakest link in our current defenses against terrorism. I can't agree to turn over management of our largest ports to a country from whom terrorists and terrorist funding has come.\nNo matter how confident you are of those whom are in charge, everyone has their price and thus are prone to corruption. I simply would feel more confident if those in charge were not from the United Arab Emirate...that's all!~

Bush supported a plan to allow a company in Dubai (not the UAE government) to provide security services for ports.  He did not try to "sell the ports."  As to why, it's probably lobbyists.  You will find that shipping companies are multi-national entities, with companies from all over the world handling the work.  For example, the port at Long Beach is run by the Hanjin corporation, which is Korean.\n\nAt some point, the world is going to have to do business with Middle Eastern companies, and maybe someone thought this was a good way to go.  However, the security of a port should be undertaken by local government, not by a commercial entity.  To bad local governments may not have the money to do so.

It think it is not about ferries sinking, but the trade and commercial movement now between Saudi Arabia and Egypt is big and the current transportation means are not enough but of course ferries sinking encouraged such old plans.\n\nPractically it is very difficult to implement, so I believe it just a talk at the meantime.

yes, i have seen several tv shows about it over the years.\n\ni dont believe anything is there.  i think it is a case of myth, rumor, legend gotten way out of hand.  there is probably some a little truth, but mostly exaggeration.  probably pirates did visit there several hundred years ago, maybe they left some valuable objects, but big treasure---doubtful.\n\nthink about it,  why go to such elaborate, unbelievable work to hide something that you plan to recover?  digging a hole 300 feet deep with technology circa 1700? \n\nbasically uninhabited island,  find a good spot, bury it 6 ft down, leave.  who is going to find it before they planned to come back? working 6 months, digging, to create the ultimate hiding place would call more attention to what they were doing.

Let me help.  I received this info this morning: \n\n"TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has said it would offer cash incentives to travel agencies to encourage Western tourists to visit the country, giving a premium for Americans, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported Tuesday.\nThe proposal is Iran's latest bid to reach out to ordinary Americans in an attempt by the Islamic Republic's political leadership to show that its quarrel is with the U.S. administration — not U.S. citizens.\n\nIt came as the United Nations Security Council deliberates a draft resolution that would impose sanctions on Iran for its disputed nuclear program.\n\n"Iran's tourism department will pay $20 per person to those who attract European or American tourists to the country," the agency quoted Mohammed Sharif Malakzadeh, deputy head of the department, as saying.\n\nVisitors from other countries would earn travel agents $10 a tourist, Malakzadeh said."\n\nIf you could persuade your travel agent to split this powerful financial incentive with you, I'm sure that it would go a long way to helping pay for the trip!

There are no countries for sale.  You'd have to start a coup and overthrow the government, establish a monarchy or dictatorship, and learn to be paranoid.  There are some islands in the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf that are for sale.  They're manmade islands.  The contractor building them is making several islands that form a map of the world.
