I know zombie21 personally and I spoke with AEF07COP, who I know are members of our family, this is what folks are put in to get their order to the sandbox, AEF Cycles. I also know there are a few from the civilian sector that are fully involved in this investment, such as Ralphrob, I believe it is. So a message to all defenders of the force, as well as our fraternal brother, mount up and let yourselves be known, maybe we will do our own little thing after the Caymans. PM PAn8tv and let him know you're a cop and possible places for a meet...I suggest NY, site of the world trade center.

Hey Bro, a possibility is Spring Training here in sunny AZ, been a few times and it's a blast. Especially with the new Cardnails stadium complex going in and Superbowl '08 coming it will be booming on the west side of Phoenix.

This is the official site of the Bank of Vietnam. These are the rates you should go by. (Hope your up on your Vietnamese, the english part of the web site is still under construction)

Oil field gets kick-start from PM
22/05/2007 -- 6:49 PM

Ha Noi (VNA) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on May 21 approved a plan to adjust the capital investment of the Song Doc field in offshore block 46/02 to 144.6 million USD.

A portion of the capital will be pumped into the construction of another nine-well oilrig and leasing a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel that has a capacity of 360,000 barrels.

The PM urged the Viet Nam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) to speed up the pace of the work.

The Truong Son joint operating company of the project is made up of partners from Canada-based Talisman Energy, Malaysia's Petronas Carigali and PetroVietnam.-Enditem

FTSE-Citigroup launches Vietnam equity index


Citigroup and index provider FTSE Group have jointly developed and launched a Vietnam equity index, called FTSE Vietnam Accessible Index, targeted at foreign institutional investors.

Giving them access to one of Asia's fastest growing economies and stock markets, the FTSE Vietnam Accessible Index Series includes shares that are available to overseas investors and takes the top 80 percent of stocks listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, previously named Ho Chi Minh City Securities Trading Center.

Vietnam's main stock market with 107 listings has risen 44 percent so far this year after a 144.5 percent surge last year. This compares with gains of about 12 percent for MSCI's measure of Asia Pacific stocks excluding Japan this year.
"We have had enormous investor demand for a Vietnam benchmark that is liquid and reflects the restrictions on foreign investment. The index that we have created with FTSE is the first to meet both of the objectives," said Justin Kennedy, managing director of Citigroup Global Markets Asia.
Foreign investors had poured between US$3 billion and $4 billion into Vietnam's stock market as of March, the finance ministry estimated and investments could rise to $5.5 billion by year-end, the central bank has forecast.
