A
solitary investor ponders the future in the public gallery
of the Colombo bourse. The All Share Price Index fell through
the 800-point mark last week as violence in the east, increasing
antagonism between President Kumaratunga and the UNF government,
and the uncertainty generated by talk of a snap election unnerved
investors. Picture by Athula Devapriya.
