Capex brought relief to many traders with the removal of the Sky Power Fund (POW) halt. The gossip on the Capex forums is that former CEO SkyRanger Hammerer has skipped Second Life. I've personally not attempted to track him down but maybe a rich investor should offer a reward for information or should he be allowed to go quietly? It is unclear at this stage if CEO Sully Okelly will remain at the helm, whatever he decides he must be applauded for POW's rescue as its prospects without this move was extremely bleak.

Capex showed courage and leadership in permitting this hostile takeover, their officials are often the subject of constant criticism but credit should be acknowledged when earned. Capex's actions should also be taken as a warning across the bow for future transgressors! However questions remain of their ability to find a resolution for the trading halt of both Yellow Paperclip Corp (YEP) and Riot Mechs (MECH) who continue to flounder with their financial returns. I'm not sure if there is more to this story, if there isn't, then I'm sure shareholders would appreciate the removal of the halt while these seemingly minor issues are resolved.

The Rock Insurance Co. has gone silent recently a far cry from the summer of 2007, when they commenced offering insurance policies to SL Residents. These insurance policies were offered for deposits held at selected SL Banks. This was a brave and innovative move considering the murky world of SL Banking and especially as they were offering customers a full refund. There is no question they needed to keep a close eye on potential abuse.

The Rock Insurance attempted to mitigate their risk by closely monitoring the banks and seemed to perform this task with quiet professionalism. They offered competitive rates, which the wise could offset against the favorable interest payments received from the banks. If the investor trusted The Rock, insurance should have been a given.
