Your comments are spot-on, marcos. I lived in Venezuela 4 of the last 5 years.

Sadly for the Venezolanos, Chavez and his gang are no better than the crooks he replaced.

The only difference in the bigger picture is that the crooks Chavez replaced didn't meddle in the affairs of Columbia and Bolivia as does Chavez.

<Ever look at Cadre, jr? ... major placer project, finally going ahead it looks like, and i'm fairly content with the political risk involved [using 'fairly' in the 'really quite relative' sense] ->

Thanks for the idea

I avoid Venezuela, Russia, and South Africa- at least for now

I have made a huge bet on CKG.V-If and when that pans out-I will have to re-examine all of my personal guidlines but for now I am sticking with them.
