<AmericaOne, sponsored by SAIC did really well - bad luck Rich Belanger! Next time, with the huge asset value growth SAIC is getting and their investments, they should be able to sponsor something REALLY serious. Prada's $100m will look a joke.>

I like SAIC's formula: buy a fledgling company for $5M, spin it off as NSOL but keep 90% of the shares, then sit back watch it grow until, a few short years later, someone else gobbles it up for $21,000. That's a 4200-banger folks. And here we thought we were doing well with the Q!

Actually, SAIC starting liquidating too soon. So they'll only reap a few billion instead of 21. But they are not as free to throw money at a boat campaign as Mr. Prada-Bertelli. SAIC execs are accountable, presumably, to the employee-owners. Whatever, the Kiwis reign. They are awesome. Auckland's investment in waterfront improvements will be secure for years to come.
