Interesting trend. No doubt motivated in part by the universal hate for our current president and the decline in popularity of anything American, including capitalism, as a result. The repercussions of the Great American Brain Fart will haunt us for decades......

Political risk in Latin America Brasil elected a left-center president and is friendly to mining. I am fairly comfortable with Brasil and Mexico. Sold Gold Reserve over a year ago because I became uncomfortable with their President, even though he has won elections by a landslide and there is no doubt he is democratically elected in elections that reflect the will of the people (per OAS and Carter Center). Other countries, I know less about and have little exposure to, but I am also comfortable with Canada and Australia :). The US, it varies from state to state, IMO. There are significant country risks in southern africa, IMO, due to the AIDS epidemic. I am not terribly uncomfortable with political risks there, though. Nonetheless, the only exposure I have there now is via a PM fund. That may change. Ron
