Trinidad and money: Who has it?
« on: April 22, 2011, 05:43:59 PM »
So due to another thread I was wondering who is the richest in T&T?  Answer.com says it's The Sabga Family.  I know many(not all)  rich make it on taking advantage of the middle class.  But how stable is T&T economy in the areas of production and investment?   Anyone dig up in this things?

"Middle class and poor"..really?   I'm not sure that is true brother.  There is money in T&T, I've heard.  I've just always wondered who benefited from the "Old Money" in T&T.

And cane  ;D

But hey I trying to find out more info on Trinidad and money.  Did the slave owners move back to England? At Independence was any monies given to us from England?  Where do Trinidadians invest their money?  Do people who live abroad invest home etc.

A general and unscientific instructive for me personally is the number of NEW vehicles on the road.

In the latest central bank report there was an increase of new vechicle sales in the first quarter this year over the same period in 2010, a single digit percentage increase but an indicator nevertheless.

The fact that for a person to either pay cash for a vehicle or qualify for credit to acquire the vehicle is an indicator of the generally good position a fair percentage of the population are in.

I know there are other factors but the reality that most new vechicles cost in excess of 150,000 and really closer to 200,000 shows that. Back in the day a registration series 10,000 cars would take sometimes a year to turn over, now you get close to three new series in a calendar year, even with the roll on roll off autos being a lower ticket item, it can still range upward of 80,000 dollars.

I know that if i am in financial difficulty, my priority wouldnt be a new car.

Given how bad TnT roads are, how spiteful some people are and how crazy some trinis does drive, buying a car like that and bringing it to trinidad is just plain stupid. The nose of that Ferrari definitely touching de rim of every pot hole it hit, on some roads in TnT...

I think de Ferrari owner operates a Pharmacy...!

I know this thread will end asking if black people in TT have money. Actually, they do have it. The problem is, they don't know how to keep it.

Anyone ever had any deals with this groups?  Who are the Titans of Industry now in Trinidad.  At one time it was like Kiperlani and some other big family businesses.  Who owns our natural gas and urea plants?  Anybody know?  Gov't?

Crime and Drug People obviously have money. A few years ago I was in Switzerland and I saw Nankisson Boodram's wife. Though she pretended not to be Trini, it was her. To be residing there she had to have Dole's stash.

Correct is right in the Syrian/Lebanese thing. My cousin is married into dey family and they eh all that kosher.
