An der fundamentalen Situation an BOC u. in B' ville hat sich durch die Einstellung des ADR-Programms natürlich nicht das Geringste geändert, der Markt spielt halt mal wieder Monopoly, nur die Richtung stimmt noch nicht, dürfte aber irgendwann um so heftiger korrigiert werden, spätestens in einigen Jahren, wenn die von "uns" allen erwarteten politischen Fortschritte für "uns" alle sichtbar werden, ähm ....... sichtbar werden sollten und der Markt sich unserer Sicht der Dinge gezwungenermaßen wird anschließen müssen.
Also: Geduld, Geduld und nochmals Geduld - man muss auch mal warten können - wird schon werden!
Im übrigen ist ja momentan nicht viel los in den diversen BCL-Threads. Sind wohl alle mit ihren Arbitrage-Geschäften beschäftigt ....... und natürlich mit dem Geldzählen, das dabei haufenweise hereinkommt. -
Naja, einige wird's wohl auch geben, die angesichts des rapiden Kursverfalls bei stetig steigendem Volumen beide Hände zum "Sich-den Schweiß-von-der-Stirn-Wischen" benötigen und deren Finger es deshalb nicht mehr bis zur Tastatur schaffen .......
Aber selbst in dem Fall kann man doch noch lesen; hier das Wichtigste aus Übersee:
Landowner leader hits Govt over LNG share
By MOHAMMAD BASHIR

LANDOWNERS from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project areas have called on the National Government to separate their
equity from the State’s so that their share is not used to meet the liabilities of Oil Search Limited.
They do not want their 2.7 per cent equity to be locked into the Government’s 19.4 per cent, saying that “complex
mathematics” involved was designed to confuse the people and pay for Oil Search’s liability.
Landowner spokesman Simon Yakanda said the International Petroleum Investment Corporation (IPIC) deal was questionable as
the landowners did not know what the Government and Oil Search’s motives were.
“If the IPIC deal is a win-win for all parties, let us all know so that we can appreciate it rather than keeping us
guessing,” he said.
Describing State Enterprise Minister Arthur Somare as the “Super Minister” who controlled most portfolios, Mr Yakanda said
landowners deserved to know what was happening to their LNG equity.
He was reacting to a Post-Courier report, which quoted Mr Somare as saying the State had already raised $US1.6 billion
through the exchangeable bonds deal struck with the Abu Dhabi-based IPIC.
Under the arrangement, the State will cease to be a shareholder in Oil Search in 2014 and IPIC will be the major
shareholder in Oil Search.
In March IPIC announced that it had completed the purchase of a five-year $US1.1 billion exchangeable bond issued by the
PNG Government through its nominee, the Independent Public Business Corporation. Upon conversion of the bond, IPIC would
acquire PNG’s entire 17.6 per cent equity stake in Oil Search, thus becoming the largest shareholder in the dual listed
oil producer.
IPIC said the investment would ensure its participation in the PNG LNG project, operated by ExxonMobil, in which Oil
Search had a 34 per cent stake.
It said the LNG project was expected to transform the PNG economy and be a major driver of the Asia Pacific energy market
of the future.
The PNG LNG project is owned by a number of companies including the State.
The operator is Esso, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil which has an equity of 41.5 per cent. Other participants are Oil Search
(34 per cent), Santos (17.4 per cent), Nippon Oil (5.4 per cent), MRDC (1.2 per cent) and Eda Oil (0.2 per cent).
Once the development licence is issued for the LNG project to start production, the State will exercise its options to
take up the 19.4 per cent equity in the project.
When that happens, all the other joint venture partners’ interests will come down to cater for the State’s equity. The
Government will join the other partners.
The PNG LNG project last month announced the awarding of early works contracts ahead of the final investment decision
which is expected by the end of this year.
The $US14 billion project is currently in the front end engineering and design (FEED) stage.
Tortured and killed

Three women were killed and two others are battling for their lives at the Kundiawa General Hospital with serious burns in
sorcery related attacks in the Chimbu Province, according to police.
In two separate incidents, one elderly woman suspected of causing the deaths of several people was burnt to death inside
her house in Kingstar village, Chuave, while two others were beaten and tortured to death in Mai, Yongomugl district on
Wednesday, also over suspicions of causing a recent death by using sorcery.
On the same day, two other women accused of causing the death of a leader in Gena, Kerowagi district through sorcery were
tortured and set on fire but were rescued by relatives and escaped with serious burns to their bodies.
The rise in sorcery-related murders, especially of married couples and elderly women in the province has become a matter
of concern for the provincial police chief Joseph Tondop.
Superintendent Tondop appealed yesterday to people in Chimbu to report any suspects of sorcery to police immediately.
“It’s illegal to kill somebody, even if they are suspected of sorcery. If somebody is suspected of practising sorcery, the
police should be informed quickly so we can conduct investigations.
“If they’re guilty, they’ll face the law. We can’t keep on taking the law into our own hands by killing any suspects,”
Supt Tondop said.
“This belief was practised a long time ago by our ancestors. Now we have Christianity and government laws guiding our
lives.
“These people should stop acting like some stone-age primitives in the space era. It’s no good to go about killing and
destroying properties simply by suspecting someone of practising an outdated belief.”
He said Kundiawa police had a homicide unit which was prepared to help investigate any sorcery. suspects and people
should come forward with information.
He said his men would use all resources available to investigate any killings and have all parties involved arrested and
charged.
“This is a very serious issue in the province. A lot of people are being barbarically murdered simply by suspicion on
sorcery. Many innocent people are also losing their lives,” Supt. Tondop said.
Sorcery is a deeply rooted phenomenon in the province and other parts of the country. Those targeted in the Chimbu
province are usually within a clan or family by its own members.
An annoyed Highlands Divisional Police Commander Simon Kauba appealed to Church and community leaders in the region to
promote Christianity and law in their people.
