We were not so nice to the Sands the other day. They had been trounced by the market. So today, when they are up 95% on news that the Singapore government will help complete their in-limbo downtown Singapore casino project, well, it makes us all warm and fuzzy inside.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. almost doubled in New York trading after the Singapore government said it was in talks with the casino company to help finish a $4 billion casino project.

Hope you covered your shorts.

    Forget NY, what about Atlantic City? Where are the casinos going to built now? Poor NJ. The Mayor of Trenton wants to cut services because he has a $4B deficit. He has to layoff 10% of city workers, police officers, fire dept. Now he has to raise taxes by 43%! WOW!! Trenton is a scary enough place to visit…can’t imagine the horror show in the next few years. New city motto: “You Make, Trenton Takes.”

    #7, Trenton’s pretty bad and so is its mayor but I think the $4B might just be the state of NJ, not Trenton.

    @11. Well, my source is CNN (TIME) so you may be right. I’ll still have to collect 99% of your bonus, and raise your taxes (even if you lost money in ’08). -H to the Wax-Man

    @17 You are so ignorant. Are you mad because you are forced to live in Queens? Or the worst part of Brooklyn?
    NJ has the highest median household income in the nation. Nine of NJ counties are the wealthiest in the nation. 2nd in per capita income.
    Home to Goldman Sachs trading operations in Jersey City. Home to the 2008 SuperBowl Champion Football Giants. National Hockey League’s NJ Devils: the team of the 90s and 00s.
    Princeton University. And lets not forget the best drama on TV this decade, the Sopranos!
    Pine Lands. Jersey Shore (@11 was right-the deficit is around $4B though).
