Keiko, our honorable Triby leader, thank you for the prize loot. As for the $3.00 on the Bid, sounds fine to me as long as we have someone here that can confirm the sale was at the Bid. Lets have a cutoff of end of month for all entries. And no entries for a week after last quarter's earnings are released. This will prevent jcls from stealing the prize based on info not available to earlier entries. Lets try to finalize rules by the end of the day. Suggestions welcome from all. I will post the final rules tomorrow. Thanks again and enjoy your trip. The Judge

Honorable Keiko here are the proposed rules for the thread's new contest. Change requests welcome from all Triby stockholders today. Final rules will be posted after market close today. . The prize - 100 quid thanks to our sponsor Keiko. . Predict what - the day and time Triby shares next trade at a bid of $3.00 or more. . Must be a Triby stockholder to enter. . Entries accepted from 4/16 through 4/30. . No entries allowed for the week following next earnings release. . At least 20 entries required for a prize to be awarded. . Winner will be determined by the JUDGE. Winner will predict the closest time of the next $3.00 trade. Does not matter if the prediction is before or after the actual time. The closest wins. Notes: Put in the 20 entry requirement since so far don't see much interest in this contest. Don't want Keiko funds wasted on a contest that has just a few entries. No entries after earnings release is because this would give an unfair advantage to some if the earnings prove to be too revealing. It is possible that earnings will be released during the rest of the month. So it is advisable to get your entries in early or else face the risk of being shut out. Comments welcome. The Judge

VICTOR KEEGAN: Ireland's economy is taking off Article excerpts from nando.net Copyright 1998 Nando.net Copyright 1998 Scripps Howard (April 17, 1998 02:13 a.m. EDT nando.net) - If there was a financial equivalent of the Pulitzer prize for the world's best-performing economy, there would be no need for a short list this year: there would only be one candidate. The prize would have to go to Ireland, which in 1997 recorded growth of 10.5 percent, making it the fastest-growing economy of the 29-nation OECD for the third year running. This year it will slow down -- but only to 8.5 percent, according to the OECD's latest forecast. Ireland has become a "tiger" economy just when the species seemed to be nearing extinction. The OECD's half-yearly report on the world economy -- published this week, within days of the IMF's -- expresses mild worries about the dangers of economic overheating in Ireland. But such perils are not obvious yet because inflation is only at 1.7 percent and unemployment -- although very sharply down on earlier years -- is still quite high at 9.3 percent. The stock market has risen 30 percent already this year after a rise of almost 50 percent in 1997. One of the curious ingredients in Ireland's recipe for success is that the government operates an incomes policy with the trade union movement, by which the unions restrain wage increases in exchange for other concessions, like tax cuts. Ireland's continuing success is one of the few genuinely bright spots in the IMF and OECD's review of the world. The IMF's World Economic Outlook has been forced to downgrade its forecast for world growth to 3 percent this year because of the continuing impact of the crisis in Asia, which it had hitherto underestimated. In December it predicted world growth of 3.5 percent -- and even 4.5 percent a few months earlier. [...]
