Talk:Dubai World

Limitless link
The link to Limitless is wrong. It references a boat, whereas Dubai World's ownership is of the company (master planner and developer) with the URL [limitless.ae], which does not have an entry in Wikipedia yetPRasmussen (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I have changed the link from "Limitless" to Limitless (company)." Thanks for noticing this.  Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 05:03, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Stocks "tumbled"
1.5% is a moderate 1-day decline for the Dow. The use of the word "tumbled" seems sensationalistic here. It made me chuckle anyhow... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.189.26 (talk) 00:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree. I think too much is made of this in the article based on too few sources. __meco (talk) 09:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I changed the 'tumbled' part to 'fell'. Also I was planning to complain about the article only mentioning the US (I notice someone added a worldwide view tag in the meantime) but decided in a mood to just add stuff. While the US market is seen as very important, it's clear other markets are seen as important as well hence why many so many sources mention them. In this case, the article is even more confusing without them because the US market was closed on the 26 November so the US fall was preceeded by the European markets and Asian markets. And as I understand it, a big thing taken as a sign the markets have decided it isn't so bad is the European markets rebounding yet the article mentioned that as part of the US market fall! I'm not that familiar with economics/world markets related articles (or the markets themselves) but I think some brief mention of the chronology would help (but not offering to provide it, I did look for some sourcing but couldn't find any). As I understand it, the annoucement was made while European markets were open (on the 26 November) but most 'major' Asian markets were closed. (The UAE market and most Western Asian markets were closed for the Eid holiday too.) So European markets fell on the 26. When the Asian markets reopened on the 27 November they fell too. European markets however rebounded on the 27 November. All eyes were on the American markets which also fell (although not as much as the European or Asian markets had) but this didn't seem to affect the European markets much which remained up. The European markets still closing before the US markets despite the curtailed sessions Nil Einne (talk) 19:08, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Dubai World is NOT the same as the Government of Dubai
Dubai World is a separate corporate entity from the Government Of Dubai and the Emirate Of Dubai. The debts of Dubai World are, technically, not the responsibility of the Government Of Dubai nor the responsibility of the Emirate Of Dubai. If Dubai World were to default on its debt, it would NOT be a governmental default on debt. Armillary (talk) 20:16, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
