NY Times Probes Issa's Business Deals
In 2008, his family foundation raked in $357,000 on an initial investment of $19,000, a return of 1900% in seven months. The security was AIM International Small Company Fund. The foundation bought it at a price much cheaper than the market value at the time. The fund manager says it did not sell the security at the steep discount. This suggests a third party did so, says the Times. =============================== He better be very careful with this swinger attitude in investments that have gov largess added in. This deal above reminds me of the deal Randall Duke Cunningham pulled with his defense contractor Mitchell Wade-who bought Duke's Del Mar Heights home at about 50% above market value as a money laudering scheme to funnel bribes to Duke. Duke is still stuck in the Pen over that mistake.— August 15, 2011 10:33 p.m.

BAJA CALIFORNIA: 2010: 1,539 Homicides, ================\ Sorry, mexico is extremely dangerous, all due to the corrupt Mexican government and that corruption has made it a poverty stricken nation despite it's vast natural resources, like oil.

Well, I saw Ed Roski's front man on TV a few weeks back, and he ****claimed**** the financiing for an LA Stadium is all set-done deal, no hold ups (I find this imposssible to believe) and the only thing holding them from breaking ground was they did not have a team yet.
