1. Is this another way

to sell America to the highest bidder? Why is this being allowed and without any noise?:yoiks:

2. Paying to be in on the rich folks stock news before the public gets the news - could

pay off very well.

Immune from American Prosecution? With all that American money? and connections? and power?

4. Halliburton is still an American Corporation

They moved their headquarters to Dubai from Texas.

They were (and are) incorporated in Delaware.

5. Thats only one part of the deal....

Actually Dubai will get three things from Nasdaq: $1.7 billion in cash, a 20% stake in Nasdaq itself, and a 28% stake in the London Stock Exchange.

In return NASDAQ will get the Nordic stock exchange OMX which it has wanted for sometime.
