Didn't I mention this the other day? Caribarena please tell us if these bills have been rated by any credible agency(moody, S&P).

My opinion, if you buy these bonds issued by the GOAB then you should have no more expectation to get your money back than those greedy investors who bought Stanford's CDs.

**Dig It** » 2013-03-14 07:50

How many "T-Bills" programmes can the GOAB run, year-after-year , to help them with 'cash-flow?' They didn't meet 'target' last November, so there is no guarantees they will meet it this time on RGSM. My question is what happens after these T-Bills matured? Lord please have mercy on the people of A&B.

"However, Minister of Finance Harold Lovell eventually announced that his ministry had managed to convincingly oversell a second issue of Treasury Bills on the Regional Government Securities Market by more than $5 million". HAVE ANYBODY CHECKED TO SEE IF THIS STATEMENT IS REALLY FACTUAL? PLEASE ADVISE!!

The United States of America has issued a caution against US citizens investing in Antigua and Barbuda. WOW! Read for yourself at www.travel.state.gov Select Antigua from the list of countries and read. It was a shocker to read that. Does anyone remember what the magic month was for all investors to show up at Antigua's door step after the 2004 victory by the UPP? The man that had his head on said October 2004 was the magic month. PM said prior to being elected that we have them lined up. They are just waiting on the government to change.
