What do you think of buying stocks on the London exchange in online gambling companies?


The stocks are rock bottom.

I think they aren't rock bottom and buying some unnecessarily concentrates risk, but others will have different opinions.

Most important part of the article.

A victory for Antigua at the WTO, which will deliver its final report in a few weeks' time, would mean the country would be allowed to take retaliatory trade measures against the US, such as tariffs on imports.

Such a route is thought unlikely to sway US lawmakers, however, given the small size of the Antiguan economy, which is substantially dependent on the US for trade.

"What can they do that will affect the US one iota? Nothing," said Jonathan Winer, a partner at Alston & Bird LLP who has followed the case closely.

A greater threat is that success at the WTO for Antigua could pave the way for the EU to pursue a fair trade case against the US over online gambling, which the US might have to take more seriously.

"If bigger countries choose to take on the case, it could have a bigger impact," said Mr Winer.

The EU has previously said that it was an "interested party" in the case.
