Interesting that Rothchild's (mergers and acquisitions) should devise the game plan for NOT. Glorioux says they are one of the best investment banks in the world.

They have received a great deal of TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) money.

Many US banks who have received relief monies are not using it for what it was intended. Rather they are making acquisitions instead of lending it where it was intended i.e., to small businesses or homeowners who needed a loan to cover their morgages.

In one report I read, Baron Rothchild (way back when ) said the time to buy was when there is blood in the streets.

Perhaps this gives a good indication why the present Rothchilds have been retained by the NOT board. The old adage: 'an acorn doesn't fall far from the tree' could well apply here.

But is there a double thrust: if NOT gets FWR at a ' blood in the street' price, is Rothchilds ready to take NOT out and get a toe-hold in the ROF?

Just a thought. Anything is possible .

I wonder how much of my share dollar is going to pay Rotchilds for their services? And I wonder how much of my dollar is going to pay for the telephone campaign for FWR shares?
