great points.
the only thing i might disagree with is this quote:
"I also think it will probably take a while for the PI to get their military capabilities up to par, to the level where you might expect them to be able to succeed in defending themselves... by themselves. I think they are focused on getting there... and will succeed given the time... but, it will take time. "
I dont think the philipines will ever be able to defend themselves against the mighty goliath that the chinese military/navy has become......no matter how many years you give them to catch up.........it was front page news just a few days ago that the chinese premier was quoted as saying he wants china to one day surpass the usa in military strength/weapons and they will make that a new focus for them going forward.
Unless the usa leading the rest of the UN in an effort against chinas claim to the philipine sea is made clear with ACTIONS of STRENGTH......we might never get to see the end result in OUR FAVOR for fecof/fep.l...
if we got to wait till 2016 you will see this stock trade in decimals...<.003>....and by 2016 theres always the chance it will never get done......makes me wonder if those statements against pangilinan were true.....accussations about buying time to sell stock..........but he hasnt sold anything I am aware of..........
.........So how is it that my big investment turned into the most likely flashpoint for ww3.........what kind of luck is it that i have?? Ive been early on other investments too but none with so many variables and delays.
I can hope for china to go thru a japan type bubble bursting which might be unlikely.......but if it does happen....thats when maybe the philipines can finally start doing there own thing unharrassed with a little help from their friends.
