German term

German to English Marketing Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Unfortunately a headline that has to do with marine/maritime research. Googling brings lots of answers, but not conclusive.

Ken Cox Nov 21, 2008:
with d_williams This sort of punning is extremely popular in anything even vaguely associated with PR.
David Williams Nov 21, 2008:
Bear in mind this is almost certainly (given the context) a play on words, combining "etwas auf den Grund gehen" with (Meeres-) Grund.

agree Ken Cox : a nice option; there could be other ways to go, depending on the content. Headlines are always written after the content and should reflect the content.

Look at the bottom

Without any other context besides what is mentioned, this interpretation is the one that makes most sense to me.

Looking at the fundamentals / back to the fundamentals

An attempt to render the pun...

How some other people have used it:

Financials, Geopolitics, or Fundamentals?

Having now breached US$95/b, a run on US$100/b now seems a distinct possibility even without any further geopolitical risks arising. Just last week Global Insight anticipated that a run on US$100/b would not be possible without further supply disruption, or the threat of disruptions, above and beyond the current risks posed by tensions on the Turkey-Iraq border and between the United States and Iran. The questions then are: what has changed in the market, and is the current rally being driven by fundamentals, geopolitics, or speculation?

Looking at the fundamentals, there is no question that the balance is tight. It has always been anticipated that the fourth quarter would see a sizeable inventory draw that would extend into the first quarter. In fact this is perfectly normal historically, though the scale of the draw this year is the worrying factor.

I’m going to lean towards James Toney, but you never know; tough John Ruiz has been wining for the past three years so you can’t anything away from Ruiz, he’s very consistent, he stays strong throughout the fight. He has a lot of experience, but looking at the fundamentals I’m going to go with James Toney. He is a master at this game. He is very good and quick fundamental fighter, he is going to be in great shape.
