February 9th, 2010 | No Comments

Rickmers Maritime Trust (B1ZU.SG) gained 4.1% to 38.5 cents following improvement in core 4Q09 operations, although thin volume suggests investors generally still wary of company’s financial health, considering maturity of US$130 million ($185 million) loan in April which Rickmers hasn’t been able to refinance as yet.

The body that administers Hungary’s airwaves, ORTT, has taken the two nationwide radio licences away from foreign-owned stations and given them to two local firms, one of which has links to Fidesz, the right-wing opposition party. The body’s chairman, Laszlo Majtenyi, has resigned, complaining that the decision—by delegates from Fidesz and the ruling Socialist party—broke the law. A parliamentary investigation has been blocked, prompting speculation about a political stitch-up. …
