PURE Speculation for fun and entertainment purposes ONLY!!!

Lets say you are Anditel and you have a corner on the Columbian Telefony and Internet business. More than you can handle really. You would like to expand and dollars are tapped out from the govt. and company resources but you need it. Where do you go? America of course. Now, you already have a great contact in Florida in the name of GTCC. They have some products you are using and need for further growth. But they have an agreement to be owned (80%) by this company that has never done much. Pharmaceutical sale here and there and some long distance promise in Africa and such.

Hey wait a minute. What better way to get dollars than to take advantage of the internet boom in the States. No way to do it, you say. What about that ADGI? Clean shell with no debt to speak of. Reports to the SEC on time. Only problem is they have a looootttt of shares out. What if you buy them out for the shell.

You automatically get exposure to American investors. American investors who are hungry for any internet investment they can find. Voila, you have expansion money.

You don't really care about the Pharmaceutical sales. Let the Doc run that part of the business and its all gravy. But you need the shell.

So what do you do? Get ADGI and GTCC to merge. Go through an investment banker. Work the deal and before you know it.......
Oh and by the way Innomedia is tied into GTCC pretty tightly. The Doc may just turn out to be a genious after all.

Oh well, guess I'd better wake up now and get to the SuperBowl party.

Best to all.

OFF TOPIC.....on some parallel tangent.

You wrote:"It was quite a place. We were going to cut a big vine to swing on one day, after we went swimming. Unfortunately, when we got back, the "vine" was gone! (ps: "..don't tell Mother..") Life in a day in the jungle, tee hee!"

Yes! A local had the head of a "tercio-pelo" (from the phonetic....means purple velvet I believe) English name for the snake is Fer-de-lance. This damn head was in a jar of preservative....it was a gallon jar, the snake was reported to be over 12 feet long.

My first day on the peninsula one of my "associates" chopped one in half with a machete, not knowing the snake was deadly venomous, and the only chance one had in the event of a bite was to immediately cut off the bitten appendage!

On another occaison I walked about two miles to one of my favorite fishing spots on an outcropping of volcanic rock. I was so caught up in catching crabs for bait, I neglected to take notice of how late in the day it was. I walked the inland trail back in total darkness, a moonless night, barefooted with only a stick. I tried applying some of Don Juan's "stalking" techniques used by "warriors". I was actually screaming at one point, knowing that for sure I would be lost in the jungle forever, and probably die of snake bite. Then I began to collect my senses and understand that my life actually depended on it. My first introduction to true courage I think, a pivotal point in my life. *NOBODY* went on those trails at night, save for a few drunken expeditions of locals with flashlights hunting wild pigs. I shudder thinking about it now knowing that my current life offers nothing similar in the way of challenges, and how soft I have become, and how little people understand of what the basics of survival involve.

Suffice to say I know some survival skills, and would be perfectly at home without the bullshit "neccessities" we americans sacrifice our lives for.

I even know how to make distilled spirits. I commented to my wife as to how that could be a valuable skill in the event of a Y2K meltdown. I once made some spirits to power my lawnmower. I hate the way it smells running gasoline. I just drilled the jets out and loaded up some 190 proof alcohol! Much easier to buy it at the hardware store....to say nothing of the legal implications!

Anyway, the mind doth wander on this pre-ADGI explosion superbowl sunday. I have been hiding out in the basement while my wife destroys the upstairs in one of her winter re-modeling binges.....sigh. Soon I will be cutting molding, and banging my fingers with a hammer. Home ownership can lead to the acquisition of many skilled trades!

Cheers!
