utter rubish, page-12

Agree with your comments about ironfist angry. Generally ironfist has been a productive poster so sory to see him sitting on the bench for a spell but gather it was for a reason as I too did not see the offending post.

As to your question about demand. I am not sure that I would expect a random increase in demand from the additional promotional activity alone. My take on it is that MS is getting the pieces in place for the future ann's that will come in the NY. As the company ramps up its activities and hence ann's, having various brokers, investment advisors, etc, etc on board will pay dividends (no pun intended) at the appropriate time.

The timing of the Dubai listing is also something to ponder. If the listing occurs after major news, an opportunity may be lost to generate significant demand there. However, if the listing occurs before or just as major activity occurs, there could be significant interest and demand for the stock which could drive some serious SP rises.

With this in mind, it will be interesting to see if/when major announcements occur in relation to this listing. My assumption ATM is that Dubai will be sometime in the NY (3-4 months at least) and hence, we may not see significant ann's before then.

That's not too say that there won't be any ann's, just that any early ones may not be the big ones that all are expecting.

Just my ponderings...
