I don't know anything about CPPKY Diogeron--sorry. On your other question, one would buy Loral over G* based purely on risk. Loral gives you a broad slice of the sat industry pie from manufacturing(a bad tasting piece of pie today), G, broadcasting, virtual networking, multimedia, internet transmission, and whatever comes next. G is a one shot deal with huge potential(and bigger potential gains) but obviously carries greater risk. The ultimate home run potential of Loral depends a great deal on G, but you are safer with it because of the diversity of businesses it is involved in. For me, preservation of capital is more important than that potential grand slam. If G is a huge winner, I will be too because of my stake in LOR. I own only a small amount of G*, just enough to whet my appetite.
