Something to speculate on still, or just another old dangling carrot?

From EBX news

At the end of March, Batista sold a 5.63% stake in EBX to Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund for $2 billion. In May, Batista sold a 0.8% stake in EBX for $300 million to General Electric Co. (GE). At the time, GE said EBX wanted to use the proceeds to reinforce the company's finances and help fund future investment opportunities.

Batista, the richest man in Brazil, is raising money to diversify into industries ranging from precious metals to entertainment and sports management. The group currently holds interests in industries such as mining and oil as well as infrastructure and logistics, all of which are in different stages of development.
