November 11, 2009
Analysis by: Ronald Ingram, Director of Product Management,BlackRock's Fink: Forget 'Bubble' | online.wsj.com
Laurence Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock Inc. in response to questions about bank failures and economic conditions suggested today that; “…the financial system needs to be a lot more responsive to society and make sure this doesn't happen again. Risk has to be a lot more transparent to investors. I think that is happening."; and, “the financial system needs change, including increased disclosure, more derivatives trading on exchanges and regulatory change…". But what about the 5Cs of credit?

Great News for Slot Manufacturers, If Legislature Agrees
August 31, 2009
Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,Home Meet Governor Crist | www.flgov.com
Gov. Crist had until 11:59 pm tonight to reach a new agreement with the Seminoles. He did, giving them unlimited slot machines in seven locations. But it also gives them blackjack and other table games in all seven casinos, which the Legislature had limited to two counties. Therefore, the new Compact is just as invalid as the last one he signed, unless the Legislature signs off on this one, to get the billions of dollars of new revenue.

Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,RPT-Q+A-What does illness of gaming king Ho mean for Macau? | www.reuters.com
Macau's government's cap on junket commissions came just in time. Keeping high-roller baccarat profits with casino operators is very good news for Macau’s casino concessionaires and their many partners. The deal was brokered by 87-year-old Stanley Ho, now in intensive care after brain surgery. If Ho does not recover completely, fights for succession could break out. Instability in China is never a good thing for outsiders trying to do business there, and may directly impact American casino

Good News for Harrahs, Possible Break-Through for PartyGaming
August 7, 2009
Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,Senator Menendez Online Poker Bill Barney Frank on Steroids | www.gambling911.com
A companion bill to Barney Franks' in the House, by Robert Menendez in the Senate, greatly increases the chance Internet poker will be made legal next year. Both bills favor land-based gaming companies getting into the act. But they differ on whether gaming will be limited to poker, and whether operators like PartyPoker, which pulled out of the U.S. market after the passage of the UIGEA in 2006, will be allowed back in.

ASIC v. James Hardie - the spotlight on company directors and senior management
June 2, 2009
Analysis by: Rachel Launders, Partner,James Hardie proceedings | www.asic.gov.au
Directors in Australian listed companies may be nervous about the duty of care which they owe to the company, following the decision in ASIC v. James Hardie (April 2009). The Court found that they have a duty to avoid exposing the company to risk of harm to reputation or legal claims. Senior executives, including the General Counsel, also came under the spotlight, being found in breach of their duties for failing to warn the board of the risks which the company was being exposed to. The case is also a reminder that companies need to take particular care with public announcements - the desire to promote the good news cannot overtake the need for an announcement which is balanced, objective, complete and accurate.
