Could Dubai save Barratt Developments from disaster? « Peter J. Cooper’s Weblog

In the 1991 I challenged Barratt founder Sir Lawrie Barratt to buy his own stock at 33p as a mark of confidence when he returned from retirement to save the company. He bought $2 million worth and made another swift fortune out of my cheeky article as the group later recovered. At 80 he is probably now too old to make another comeback but I would not rule it out. Perhaps a Dubai fund should sound him out.
