Michael Jackson has dodged another bullet during his battle to keep the Neverland Ranch.

At auction, an investment firm purchased his loan, preventing the Ranch from being auctioned off.   Two months ago, Jackson also made an agreement with
another investment firm to stop the ranch's sale until this week.

Over the last few years, Neverland Ranch has been the topic of much speculation as well as legal trouble for Jackson who was accused of child molestation on the property.  Jackson stopped living at the ranch after he was found 'not guilty' during a 2005 child molestation trial.

Since that time, Jackson has been living in Bahrain under the invitation of its crown prince.

A Jackson representative reported that the pop star is very pleased with the new developments.
