BTW, the 2 day lag was, as I recall, due to the fact that there was no information available from any news source that gave any details on the sale of "ports".

I think Rush was the first guy off the block with a reference to the WSJ October article, and that clearly identified the deal as one involving the sale of a company that held operating contracts for gantry cranes at various terminals where they load/unload container ships.

The articles we were all reading initially appear to have been cleverly designed to trick the public. The Dubai company can probably sue the pants off the news media who misreported this commercial deal ~

That does sound like what the WSJ had been reporting for months. Current stories include other operations that you would think would be bigger news.
