...Howard and his key ministers are not aggressively selling the latest public offer; it's a more sober T-time. The prospectus will most likely focus on the company's strong balance sheet, a plan to cut 12,000 jobs and the building of a zippy new mobile-phone network; Telstra's board has promised to pay a dividend of 28? a share for the year to June 2007.

...firm's revenue. Yukos' main oil-production unit was auctioned off to a single low bidder that turned out to be a front company for Rosneft. Those confiscated Yukos assets now constitute about 70% of Rosneft's oil production and reserves.

...Wall Street's leading law firms, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, recently warned investment-banking clients to steer clear of online-gaming companies because of concerns about their legality in the U.S. Should the DOJ decide to crack down, the gaming firms, at least, have an exit. PartyGaming's prospectus takes pains to point out that the company has no tangible assets or physical presence in the U.S. Indeed, one reason co-founder Parasol plays no official role at the firm other than shareholder and keeps a very low public profile--she refuses all interview requests--is that...
...goes to a supermarket to seek investment advice, but some shoppers can find a hot tip in the freezer department. "Scoop up our stock," reads the message on cartons of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Customers are invited to call a toll-free number for a preliminary prospectus on a new issue of 500,000 shares of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. Expected share price...
