I agree with you on what THL should be doing but tourist shares have
always been very reluctant performers - take hotels, airlines &.
On the America's Cup I wouldn't agree with you. First major bad news;
America whatever loses to Prada. Most American's immediately lose
interest and massively reduce news coverage and visiting.
Second bad news Prada loses first race by miles and whitewash to
NZ looks in prospect. Immediate loss of interest by Italians and other
European
countries. I went into the Le Monde website while Le Defi was still in it
and America's Cup was the top sports news out of 5 items. No longer.
Call it what you will but let's be realistic. Same as NZ getting into a 
one day cricket event finals in Oz - the kiss of death.
So I wouldn't hang out on that one.

Derek Watts; good to see the news item about a Genesis purchase on
OneBusiness 
News site yesterday. Genesis - the one ignored by the tech hotheads who are
into
SPE and SVY and anything else that moves with rumour attached.
Can't resist the occasional stir.

au rev,
Hugh
