Poll question: What new name should Dubai Ports World be called now?
Ok, the deal, I mean," transaction" with that Great British company and Dubai Ports World is poisoned and headed for failure...what new name should Dubai Ports World be called in order to get the deal passed?

What should the new company be called so that the deal slips under the radar?

10. American Port & Cargo Company
With shares traded on the NY Stock Exchange (if there were actually any available and not in the hands of Dubai, which of course there isn't).
