PINK PANTHER first of all, welcome to Agoracom and OMAG. I too hope that the Omani people invest in OMAG, however, the population of Oman is less than 3,000,000 people and actually less than 2,000,000, if you don't the non-nationals.The country is close in square miles to the size of Germany (about 90% the size)and Germany has a population of about 81,000,000! My point being that Oman is a sparsely populated country, and their per capita income hovers around $25,000/year.(I'm going from memory) Sooooo it appears that the bulk of the investing will come from outside of Oman, but the Sultans' involvement , both politically and finacially, will certainly help the situation-------BILL
