pm "relinquishes" ceo position, page-11

could be vesp ...good point. tho' it could also be an ags board decision due concerns arising from old pm/quasar relationships and the md finding it difficult to negotiate a good result for his new master when his old master is so influential and powerful in america [and globally].

[lol .. you'll have to toss a coin wasa and hop back in if its heads up].. would be v.cheap at current sp if a fair price is successfully negotiated.
