LONDON (Reuters) - An Indian investigative journalist on Wednesday won Britain's little-coveted Bad Sex in Fiction Award for a turbo-charged account of a lovers' tryst that likens their amours to a speeding Bugatti.
Aniruddha Bahal, who posed as an arms dealer to expose an Indian military bribery scandal in 2001, flew to London to receive the prize from rock singer Sting before a 500-strong audience.
Now in its 11th year, the dubious honour is awarded by the Literary Review magazine for the most inept description of sexual intercourse in a novel. …………..>
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...She may be bad in sexual intercourse decription, but she and her group(British writer Naipaum is a supporter of the group) of journalists did a superb job of videotaping some Indian BJP(ruling party) bigwigs and some mid-level Indian generals who agreed to offer military supplies contracts in exchange for bribes(bribe amounts are small compared to international levels —100,000 rupees =2000 dollars for each one ). Those involved lost their positions and are in disgrace now.
dollars at the price set by the government.

Pelegrino - remember I am a <voodoo> dealer and so my schtock picks dodge and weave around a bit mostly before going off like pop corn ... if you have ever watched pop corn cook you'll know that there is no g/tee when individual cornels will pop, although you do know you will get popcorn ...
Firstly I am mostly a bull on the market, although we are in a "between" period in my view ... there is a slim, but possible chance that we will pull back 5-7% this means that my high beta stocks can come off a bit, although I try to buy on relative weakness ... I do however think that we can still have a 10% or so market so time through the end of Jan ...
CTLM is probably my darkest horse right now ... my basis in this stock is around $5.25 ... over the past few days it has been acting weak and still unsettled ... it took a minor run on an investment comment from noname investment house and the last of the momentum is fading ... it should settle soon. On the upside it can pop dramatically a dollar or two or more over a couple of days ... we may be close to this as it will either come out with guidance for Q4 or a major house will play the hero with an upgrade ... it is down where it is merely because of a sales channel delay in Japan. Strong restistance is close ... stop loss should be $5.15. If this one gets its mojo back then it can cruise through to $15 in 6 mths ... but first I'd like to see it at $7 ...
SBAC is finalizing a notes placement refi deal with Lehman I am expecting Lehman to come out any day and goose the stock ... I may be wrong, but if this happens it should head for $5 fairly easily. Now at resistance.
IBAS - approaching fairly well supported levels a developing story, but if Q4 meets the "insiders" expectations should go through $2.50 fairly comfortably. If we get to this point then we will be talking $5-7 by yr. end 04.
AAWH ... the purest of gambles ... completely binomial outcome ... but if the prepack BK plan confirms that the existing equity keep 20-30% of the newco equity the existing stock claims will shoot through $2 ... vely schpeculative ... if we come out of the BK in tact then this will trade like Dann's HLSH ... filing is "planned" for 12/15, but you never know.
I have others, but I am probably mid cycle on them so they don't make sense as new plays. I do however need to get back to work on the pipeline!!
<NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The junk bond market chalked up a strong performance Thursday, with prices up a solid 1/2 to 3/4 point. Traders said utilities were among the hottest performers, as has been the case in recent days, with Dynegy Inc.'s (DYN) 9 7/8% notes due 2010 quoted at around 111 1/2 bid, 112 1/2 offered, after trading as high as 112 bid, 133 offered. The bonds closed Wednesday at 109 1/2 bid, 110 1/2 offered. The market is "very, very strong with better two-side flow," as opposed to one that's bid up but with no bonds offered, said Kevin McCormick, who manages high-yield bonds at Weiss Peck & Greer, with $19 billion under management, including $14.5 billion in fixed income. In the primary market, crossover credit Georgia Pacific Corp. (GCP), rated Ba3 by Moody's Investors Service and double-B-plus by Standard & Poor's, was able to double a "drive-by" offering of 20-year senior notes to $500 million. The notes priced at par to yield 8%, a spread to Treasurys of 284 basis points. A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. Citibank, Deutsche Bank and UBS were joint lead underwriters on the Rule 144a private placement. Also, Iron Mountain Inc. (IRM) priced a $170 million debt offering. Two other offerings were still expected to price late in the session from Insight Midwest and Crown Castle International Corp. (CCI) "I have a stack of prospectuses" for new offerings, said McCormick of Weiss Peck. "It will be a busy week-and-a-half before the holidays," he predicted. The market will be eagerly awaiting the latest information on high-yield mutual fund flows from AMG Data Services in Arcata, Calif., expected late this session. AMG reported inflows last week of $425 million - the fourth straight week of inflows. >

>> Best of the day!i am not quite sure <merlino>. i only remember that i bought them at reoffer price 92.55 walking on a muddy street during a rain shower on the island Koh Samui. but i doubt that they went above 95.
what i bloody remember is that they dropped to ~38 in the wake of the russian crisis in 1998.
Do you remember the maximum immediately following its 1997 issuing ? 93-94 ?
SPX is a sell again....

► Positive: Decline in unemployment
Unemployment fell to 9.3% in October from 10.1% the previous month. This represents the lowest level since March. There is a good chance of a further fall over the next two months, on the back of the expected pickup in Q4 activity.
► Positive: Improvement in trade performance continues The trade deficit in October was US$51m. This compares with a US$113m
shortfall in October last year. Export revenues grew 16.6% yoy, boosted by buoyant oil prices and increasing production, whilst imports grew a modest 1.8%yoy. A continued improvement in exports was anticipated on the back of the completion of the OCP oil pipeline. Looking ahead, there may also now be some recovery in non-oil exports, as the dollar weakening boosts Ecuador’s export competitiveness.
