Lightning Theory

The market value of the Lightning is pretty low at the moment IMO, I would suggest that shares in HIH maybe more attractive.

It wasnt short term thinking that created this farce, it was the Government report into the mismanagement by BSA that resulted in the Government bail out. Part of this bailout was the selling of the Licences of the 36ers and the Lightning, as well as the Dome. Marino paid around 100 - 150K for the Lightening licence, which otherwise may have been returned to the WNBL, with NO South Australian Team in the WNBL.

If he hadn't bought the licence, there would have been no Lightning. He was lauded at the time for doing so, especially after the team that Lucas built, won the Championship. The decline and fall of the team over the past few seasons however, has been the result of mismanagement and nepotism.

Hopefully, Marino will sell the licence to new owners and the team may return to respectability. If he just walks away, there may be no Lightning team to complain about anyway.

Bob, you must be very old as this level of cynicism is rare in young people.
