Lundin Petroleum

| Ashley Heppenstall |
Vid Lundin Petroleums stämma den 10 maj uppmanade vd:n Ashley Heppenstall aktieägare som inte litade på företagets ledning att sälja sina aktier. "Vi vill ha en solid grupp med långsiktiga svenska institutioner, men om de inte litar på ledningen skall de sälja sina aktier".
Nu säljer Folksam alla sina aktier i företaget. Mr Heppenstall, vi vill i vårt land ha företag med ledningar som vi kan lita på; inte företagsledningar av skumma typen Lundin Petroleum.

Sundsvalls slalombacke i dag
Fotograferat i kväll genom mitt köksfönster. Längst upp syns en del av Sundsvalls fina slalombacke. Observera den vita fläcken = snö kvar den 30 maj, om än lite. Att det fortfarande finns snö kvar beror på att man packade snön inkl konstditon ovanligt mycket i vintras. Förra året var backen vitafläckfri i början av maj.
