Hook N. Sinker, Sure, it was one of the greatest short of the decade. Dear Martinghoul, Thank you I didn't know that they had agreed and signed this into national law. And now, with this element I clearly see that you are right. In fact, I find it too a convenient solution for Iceland... in the short term. Because as you said it, the price that they will have to pay, if they don't respect their own law will be terrible... no more loans... BOOM... And I will clearly prefer to be homeless in FL than in ICEland With your clear and kind explanation I will conclude that Icleand is trying to f%%k everyone in the Icesave deal... Negotiation have to be done before the deal is signed.
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/financials/financials.asp?symbol=OSSR:IR Ossur stock symbol OSSR appears to be a growing company.

Balance sheet http://investing.businessweek.com/b...dataset=balanceSheet&period=A¤cy=native I notice total equity is growing, increasing about 64 % in four years. I interpret quarterly balance sheet and income statements as also reporting growth. About 50 % of total assets are goodwill. I normally avoid companies that show greater than 10 % of total assets as goodwill.

Didn't Abu Dhabi say that about Dubai, too? Until the market made them think otherwise, that is. I suspect we'll see the same thing here.
