[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [URL=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article226155030.html]Maimi Herald[/URL] reports that the IPO has been "shelved". Fair Use: [i][list] [*]..Virgin Trains USA, formerly known as Brightline, has decided to shelve previously announced plans to take the company public. “As we explored a public offering, a number of alternative financing sources became available that allow us to keep the company private and meet our growth strategies,” the company said in a statement. The company declined a request for an interview, citing its required regulatory quiet period for any securities filings...[/i] [/list] Somehow, "alternative financing" means additional public fund guarantees of any bond issue. That translates to "subsidy", resulting in me being off the hook to "eat my hat". But even if soon it will be "tilt; game over", I have had six superlative rides on Brightline. They have set a standard that will be hard for any passenger carrier to match. It is my hope that if it's all over, they will go out in the same manner as did the Santa Fe on A-Day Eve. [/QB][/QUOTE]
