This precisely proves my point. The Golden Rule is the one thing humans can count on forever: He who has the gold makes the rules - and Temasek follows those rules. Who sets the investment objectives? Temasek? No - Temasek FOLLOWS those objectives. And the implicit pretense that phone calls are no...

Agreed on Johnson - but so-called "free market supporters" - whatever you think that means - vote for and empower the type of people who triple our national debt, fight wars of choice off budget, give the world's most powerful communist nation unfettered access to the world's largest consumer market...

Is she actually finally starting to see the light? We explained this to you prior to Obamacare ever passing in 2009. Prior to Bammycare, if you had an issue you attempted to resolve it with your insurance company and if you were unable to resolve it to your satisfaction you could retain a lawyer ...

It's not what Cannon wants it to be: a pdvsa or gazprom which are wards of the state or personal piggy banks for foolish dictators. One ...

An Investment Mandate from the Government to GIC sets out the terms of appointment, investment objectives, investment horizon, risk parameters and investment guidelines for managing the portfolio. The Government, which is represented by the Ministry of Finance in its dealings with GIC, neither direc...

So they can run it into the ground and there is nothing the government can do to intervene? That your final answer? I will have to take this up later....

All I'm asking is for your calculations man. You're a semi-intelligent person so I figured you could show me the arithmetic. Wrong. The Singapore government does not manage Temasek. It simply owns it. I will concede that it is socialized, nationalized, or whatever, but the company manages its own...
