Will Forbes concede to Trump by 10/1/08?
Settled as No
Settled as NO as there have been no reports of any concession by Forbes by 10/1.
Background:
The irony of the surnames of these two gentlmen is interesting. On the one hand billionaire developer Donald Trump wants to build a massive golf resort in Scotland, and standing his ground on a farm, and in no mood to sell is a fisherman by the name of Michael Forbes.
Market asks, will Scottish fisherman Michael Forbes agree to sell his land or otherwise fold his position and facilitate the building of this resort by 10/1/08?
