Video replay killed the World Cup star Zidane
THE line between genius and madness has perhaps never been thinner. A famous journey that began in 1986, when a 14-year-old son of Algerian immigrants was offered a place at the academy of AS Cannes, wound up in Berlin last night with an almighty bang. Whether it was an explosion or an implosion, only Zinedine Zidane can really be sure, but certainly a great career could not have been closed in a less apt, gratifying or sensible way. .
Lackluster IPO for Valero GP
Energy company Valero GP Holdings LLC capped a week of slow going in the IPO market with a debut that hovered precariously close to its offering price. In midday trading, Valero's stock was at $22.03, barely above its $22 initial public offering price. The company sold 17.25 limited partner units at the low end of the expected price range. The San Antonio company is the general partner of Valero LP, a limited partnership that specializes in oil and fuel transportation and storage. Valero LP, which went public in 2001, pays out much of its available cash to unit holders via a generous 7 percent yield dividend; Valero GP is entitled to that base dividend as well as a special incentive dividend on top of it that it, in turn, pays out to its investors. With an annual dividend of $1.20, Valero GP's dividend yield comes to 5.5 percent.
