Meanwhile, the chinese govt hiked rates - a little, and the asian markets didn't even blink.

I wonder whether fast-growing Telemig is being bought soon. It appears to have operating cashflows to the tune of $8 a share. It could easily pay its cash into a fat cash dividend too...

To add a few points:

those private takeovers do not come at zero cost:
-being unlisted means that the incumbent management needs other incentives than stocks and options (remember that these often are the lions share of exectives compensation)
-if an incumbent management has issues with the new owners and be it the payment they possibly leave.
-the new owners have yet to figure out how to replace lost managerial skills, or how to make money with their new company (and even worse ultimately discover whether the recent earnings are real or, "managed").
