<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Geflügelte Wörter müssen nicht für schnelle Sinnzusammenhänge stehen. Hier auf der Insel haben wir ein Prachtexemplar dieser Gattung, das Wörtchen "mañana". Ein Temporaladverb zunächst, frei von Wertung und Interpretation. Beim Unternehmen Frudecan S.A. in El Paso jedoch, sorgt es für Verdruss und Missmut. Sein Bemühen, beim Cabildo die Genehmigung zu erwirken, den schon vor zwei Jahren installierten Maschinenpark nun endlich in Betrieb nehmen zu dürfen, wird mit der hiesigen Vertröstungsrhetorik "mañana, mañana, mañana" begegnet. "Wir sind müde von der ewigen Vertröstung auf Morgen und beklagen die Verzögerung seitens der Inselregierung, uns die Genehmigung zur Produktion zu erteilen", heisst es von Seiten des Unternehmens. Frudecan S.A. wurde vor zehn Jahren mit dem Ziel gegründet, Produkte aus dem Anbau von Bananen herzustellen, zunächst auf Teneriffa, wo allerdings das Werk noch vor dem Beginn einer Vermarktung der gefertigten Waren einstürzte. Mit Hilfe des vom Cabildo La Palma und der Insel Madeira gestarteten Programms "Interreg" allerdings, konnte das Unternehmen gerettet werden, indem ihm das ehemalige und leerstehende Gebäude der JTI im Gewerbegebiet von El Paso zur weiteren Verfolgung seiner unternehmerischen Ziele zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Das liegt nun zwei Jahre zurück und seitdem wartet die Geschäftsführung auch hinsichtlich einer rechtlichen Zusage im Genehmigungsverfahren auf kooperative Zusammenarbeit. Hier auf La Palma soll nämlich nicht irgendwas, sondern ein Produkt auf Basis der Inselkulturpflanze Nummer Eins hergestellt werden: eine Bananencreme, deren Zusammensetzung nach einer ausschliesslich dem Unternehmen bekannten Formel geschehen soll. Die Information, ob sie denn zum Nachtisch gereicht oder in der Kosmetikabteilung der Warenhäuser probiert werden kann, stand der Redaktion bei Veröffentlichung nicht zur Verfügung. Sicher aber sei, dass das Unternehmen, wenn es erstmal funktioniert, bis zu fünfzig Arbeitsplätze schaffen würde. Eine für die hiesige Arbeitslosenquote cremige Aussicht.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap">D</span><span style="font-family:arial;">uring difficult time it’s hard, though not impossible, to place your bet on stocks. It’s even harder to trade short time, let alone day-trade or scalp, if the stocks are not volatile enough. Obviously it’s easier to make money (and lose money) in Wall Street from stocks such as Apple Inc. or Baidu.com, Inc. due to intraday volatility than from Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. The fact that you are not allowed the flexibility to short the stocks compare to long it makes the <strong>KLSE a boring place to spend your time</strong>. Isn’t it amusing that authorities are trying to find reasons for the low transaction volume when the writing was already on the wall? And talk about Bursa Malaysia Berhad’s (KLSE: </span><a href="http://www.bursamalaysia.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>BURSA</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>,</strong> stock-code 1818) market capitalization being halved in five-months from its peak of RM16 to RM8 a share.</span></p>
<p><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Lsl3ZOXvc0s/SBb2gZ6CJFI/AAAAAAAACA8/Qa20Ktndyvc/s400/JTI_chart_28Apr2008.PNG" border="0" alt="JT International stock chart" />Depending on your strategy and approach, you might find some comforts from dividend-paying stocks. One of my favorites is <strong>JT International</strong> (KLSE: <a href="http://www.jti.com/english/about_jti/locations/full_list.aspx"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>JTINTER</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">, stock-code 2615). Since my last article in Aug 2007, the stock did not manage to climbs above the <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">resistance of RM3.96</span></strong> a share. This is a typical good dividend stock of which the <strong>“gross dividend” </strong>yield is more than 10 percent, easily beats the conventional single-digit fixed-deposit interest rate. But the good time of getting nice dividend-check at your doorstep will not goes without any challenges as acknowledged by JT International (JTI) management.</span></p>
<p><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Lsl3ZOXvc0s/SBb2gp6CJGI/AAAAAAAACBE/gw6rioflnMA/s400/JTI_Revenue_2003_2007.PNG" border="0" alt="JT International Revenue" /><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Lsl3ZOXvc0s/SBb2gp6CJHI/AAAAAAAACBM/rOaW8yHtONk/s400/JTI_NetProfit_2003_2007.PNG" border="0" alt="JT International Net Profit" />Malaysian government is expected to start with its normal routine in putting up barricades to the tobacco industry especially after the general election. The government raised tax on cigarette sold in Malaysia by 25% per stick in July 2007, the highest since 2004, but didn’t punish the players during the budget presentation for obvious reason. Already the tobacco industry is fighting an uphill and losing <strong>battle against illegal cigarettes</strong> smuggled into the country. With an estimated 25 percent of the cigarettes sold are illegal products, not to mention cheap, it’s no-brainer why JTl’s earnings were on the downtrend since 2006 and the trend is expected to continue.</p>
<p><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Lsl3ZOXvc0s/SBb2g56CJII/AAAAAAAACBU/2FIYkQmKJV8/s400/JTI_GrossDiv_2003_2007.PNG" border="0" alt="JT International Gross Dividend" /><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Lsl3ZOXvc0s/SBb2g56CJJI/AAAAAAAACBc/cBl1ae2chJ4/s400/JTI_NetDiv_2003_2007.PNG" border="0" alt="JT International Net Dividend" />With tougher anti-tobacco laws to be introduced by the government from now onwards, JTI which derived about 90% of its sales from the domestic market <strong>needs to increase exports</strong> to stay alive - most likely post AFTA (Asean Free Trade Agreement). The authorities will not be able to tackle illegal cigarettes smuggling problem regardless whether they’re actually clueless or simply overwhelmingly outnumbered by corruption.</p>
<p>Investors might see JTI as an unattractive stock due to gloomy earnings but should the dividend yield continue with the downtrend, the stock price is expected to goes down in tandem with it as well. Therefore the stock is still attractive but I’m interested to see if the stock could be whacked to the RM3.60 again.</p>

<p>Cu câteva ore înainte de spectacolul de sâmbătă seara, când a apărut la întâlnirea cu presa, nimeni nu şi-ar fi imaginat, văzându-l, de ce este în stare. Un tip subţire, negricios, cu părul strâns cuminte în coadă, ruşinându-se când a trebuit să spună câţi ani are (37), foarte comunicativ şi simpatic. Doar ochii negri, foarte vii şi felul în care s-a cabrat deodată când a vorbit despre „mândria de a fi gitan” vesteau, discret, energia pe care poate să o degaje.</p>
<p>Le-a vorbit ziariştilor cu farmec şi cu un fel de nerăbdare pe care încerca să o mascheze privind în jos când traducătoarea îşi făcea treaba. Asculta cuvintele româneşti şi încerca să înţeleagă, ceea ce a şi reuşit la un moment dat. A vorbit cu căldură despre Pedro Almodovar, alături de care i-a făcut plăcere să lucreze, fiindcă cineastul „este nu numai foarte talentat, dar are şi un tip special de umor, o ironie caldă, care creează o atmosferă bună.” Deocamdată nu are proiecte în film, fiind prins cu turneul de prezentare a spectacolului Mi soledad. De ce singurătatea? „Pentru că e o stare pe care orice om o încearcă la un moment dat, fie că este bărbat sau femeie. După ce am făcut spectacole mari, producţii- gigant cu până la 80 de oameni în scenă, am simţit nevoia să aleg această temă.”</p>
<p>Singurătatea, angoasa, teama de persecuţie au fost dintotdeauna stări şi emoţii care au inspirat acest dans foarte special numit flamenco. Dar care este pentru Joaquín Cortés esenţa flamenco-ului? „Flamenco este reflectarea cea mai deplină a spiritului gitan, el s-a născut din nevoia lor de a se exprima, dar şi ca o eliberare prin cântec de durere şi persecuţie a gitanilor din Andaluzia. Muzica şi dansul i-au ajutat să supravieţuiască, iar flamenco este un stil de viaţă, un fel de a trăi şi de a iubi. De aceea, eu sunt foarte mândru că sunt gitan. Dacă ar fi să trăiesc din nou, aş vrea aceeaşi viaţă, fiindcă dansul a făcut-o minunată.”</p>
<p>A dansat pe cinci continente, în 30 de ţări diferite, dar reacţia spectatorilor a fost aceeaşi. „Când publicul e rece înseamnă că spectacolul nu e bun, dacă noi, cei de pe scenă, suntem aşa cum trebuie, publicul va fi cu siguranţă entuziasmat. Pe mine m-a ferit Dumnezeu până acum de alte reacţii decât energia bună degajată de oamenii încălziţi de ceea ce noi le transmitem prin cântec şi dans. Nu există baraj cultural pentru flamenco. Am dansat de la Tokyo până în Ţările Arabe, iar diferenţele culturale şi religioase nu i-au împiedicat pe oameni să se bucure. Arta nu are bariere, e liberă”, le-a explicat Joaquín Cortés jurnaliştilor, adăugând că speră să se vadă asta şi la Bucureşti. Aşteptările lui au fost mai mult decât împlinite.<br />

Baie de mulţime şi cerere în căsătorie</b></p>
<p>Sâmbătă seara, „picioarele de aur” ale dansatorului (asigurate, de altfel, pentru trei milioane de euro) au făcut să iasă scântei pe scena Sălii Palatului, sub ochii spectactorilor care au ţâşnit de mai multe ori în picioare ca să-l aplaude. În atmosfera încălzită de un grup de cântăreţi de flamenco, fiecare apariţie a lui Cortés, conform unei dramaturgii minime, echivala cu o explozie de energie, expresivitatea lui – urmărită mai ales pe cele două ecrane aşezate în lateralele scenei, altfel distanţa fiind prea mare - şi siguranţa fiecărei mişcări fiind fascinante. Ceea ce are în plus Joaquín Cortés faţă de alţi dansatori de flamenco – de altfel, fiecare dintre cântăreţi a schiţat câteva mişcări, aşa încât s-a putut face o comparaţie pe viu – este o eleganţă exemplară, o fineţe a mişcărilor care îl face să pară o siluetă dintr-un desen în peniţă. Ţinuta lui, muşchii încordaţi, traversaţi permanent de o energie ce se transmite privitorului şi felul în care ştie să se joace cu atenţia publicului, pe care îl stăpâneşte cu precizia unui dresor, fac din Joaquín Cortés un adevărat magician al flamenco-ului.</p>
<p>Nu e de mirare, aşadar, că publicul, alcătuit în mare parte din femei, a fost ţinut ca în transă de dansator, totul culminând cu „baia de mulţime” făcută de acesta, spre disperarea bodyguarzilor care nu se aşteptau să lupte cu doamnele ce voiau să-l atingă. Una dintre acestea a strigat de câteva ori declaraţii de dragoste pentru „frumosul” care se întorsese pe scenă, cerându-l în cele din urmă în căsătorie. Cererea nu a fost acceptată.</p>
<p>Totuşi, cei care speră să-l revadă pe faimosul dansator se pot bucura, întrucât acesta a declarat că vrea să revină în România: „Îmi pare rău că acum stau atât de puţin, practic dansez şi plec, dar vreau să vin din nou în România, despre care am auzit multe lucruri. Vreau să vizitez Transilvania şi alte locuri şi să mă întâlnesc cu ţiganii de aici, ştiu că sunt mulţi şi aş vrea să îi cunosc”.</p>
<p>Joaquín Cortés a fost invitatul Întâlnirilor JTI din acest an, tradiţia instaurată de Compania JTI constând în invitarea unor companii de dans celebre, spre bucuria iubitorilor acestei arte. Evenimentul a fost realizat cu sprijinul Fundaţiei Art Production. Parteneri media: Televiziunea Română, Gândul, Europa FM şi B24 Fun.</p>
