Whole city to be floated on stock exchange
Austrian Times ^ | October 16, 2008

Civic leaders have been branded mad in a crackpot scheme to float an entire city's assets on the Stock Exchange - just as world money markets are collapsing.

Krakow council leaders want to list all the Polish city's utilities on the money market as a way of raising extra cash for repairs.

But critics say the plan will ruin the medieval city.

"We have just watched millions and millions of pounds disappear into thin air on the world's stock markets. They must be out of their minds," said one.

I'd invest in Poland.

If they gave me free plane tickets.



And tossed in LeeLee Sobieski.



Awright, awright, this week only, I can do without the tickets...
