I asked myself each time how many more Barbadians going to keep investing in these Trinidad companies that seems to have management problems that after a few years, they have a trend of going into Bankruptcy leaving their policy holders broke. Do we not have a watch dog in government who investigate these companies that keep taking money from the people of this country with no guarantee whatsoever? We are all natives of the Caribbean but it cannot be that each time we read a company from Trinidad keeps doing this to us, or have we not learned a lesson.

Caveat Emptor. Like morality, it is difficult to legislate where a citizen chooses to place their savings/investments. BTW, there have been an impressive tally of failed bajan enterprises also, if one cares to look.  I can cite , with certainty, the strange and sad case of a former (and since passed) Director of National Insurance, who on retirement placed his entire Government gratuity on deposit with a private Bajan company which shortly thereafter, went belly up. Caveat Emptor applies to most things in life..including choosing carefully one’s friends.
