this is important review for us and the middle east.



Hi Mick,

>>i hope one day the middle east will have peace
forever<<

This day will come, i have no doubt, however i do
not think it it will happen in my generation.
Some small steps are already happening, moving in
the right direction.
Our own economy is on the boom since the Gaza
pullout, and ideed more and more tourists and
foreign businessman come visit.

Two recent examples,

1/NYSE: We expect more Israeli cos within 18 months

Representatives of Israeli investment institutions and funds will visit the NYSE this week.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has launched a campaign to recruit Israeli companies to hold IPOs on it. The NYSE is also trying to interest Israeli investment institutions in investing in its stock instruments and other financial tools.
NYSE media relations manager Christiaan Brakman told "Globes" that the NYSE recognized the potential in Israeli economic sectors, and that it was actively seeking Israeli companies that meet the NYSE's criteria for holding IPOs and being TRADED on it.

Brakman said, "Within 18 months, we expect a number of Israeli companies to join the family of NYSE-listed companies. We're talking about manufacturing and financial companies that will join the six Israeli companies already TRADED on the stock exchange."

Four companies registered in Israel are listed on the NYSE: Blue Square Israel Ltd. (NYSE:BSI; TASE:BSI), Elscint Ltd. (NYSE:ELT), Koor Industries Ltd. (NYSE: KOR; TASE:KOR), and Tefron Ltd. (NYSE: TFR). Two other Israeli companies are also listed: Ormat Technologies Inc. (NYSE:ORA) (registered in the US) and Amdocs Ltd. (NYSE:DOX) (registered in Guernsey).

As a sign of the NYSE's growing interest in Israel, representatives of Israeli investment institutions and funds will visit the NYSE's historic building on Wall Street this week.

2/Israel has second most companies on Nasdaq, after U.S. itself
29.9.2005 | 08:02
Shirley Yom Tov

Ituran (Nasdaq, TASE: ITRN) joined the Nasdaq Tuesday night, becoming the 71st Israeli company on the index.

Israel is now the second-largest presence on Nasdaq after the U.S. itself.

For some time, Israel had been third in line, after Canada, but with only 68 listings, that country has now slipped to third place.

This comparison only counts companies registered in Israel as Israeli, and therefore if others, Israel-based but registered elsewhere such as Comverse Technologies (NASDAQ:CMVT) or Amdocs (NYSE:DOX), were taken into account, the numbers would be even more impressive.

Two more Israeli companies plan to list on Nasdaq in either October or November: Passave and Predix Pharmaceuticals.

Passave, which supplies Fiber-to-the-Home semiconductors for the broadband access network, has not issued final details about its proposed share price other than its plan to raise some $90 million. Analysts believe the firm will float at a market value of $300 million to $400 million.

Ramat Gan-based Predix, which develops new medicines through integrated computational and medicinal chemistry platforms, filed for an IPO in August, and, again, although it has not yet specified its share price range, it plans on raising $70 million.

See my point? This is just 2 randomal examples, i could easily
provide many other examples, with even more magnitude.
