Glad to see your on-the-scene long term opinion. I have overweighted my jrs to favor Mexico for years, have been pleased and expect to continue to be pleased, with the results. I know the Mexican mine workers and Mexican managers have been doing a superb job of bringing the La Guiterra mine of GGC back to its earlier production level. The rush of jrs both entering and expanding operations there is proof to me that they feel secure in their investments.

>I have lived in Mexico for 18 years.....Good luck and get real I am really glad to hear from someone who I assume is an expat living in Mexico. Are you working there or retired? I would assume working. I have lived and worked outside the US for 17 years myself and this gives me the advantage of seeing events in a light that is often different from the light that is seen from inside the confines of the US borders....There is nothing better than first hand knowledge from an expat that is living and working in another country when you want a good read on what is really going on inside that country. An expat usually does not have an axe to grind because he is not living in his "homeland" so you often get a more pragmatic approach to developments, conditions and situations. People have similar misconceptions about the political risk of investing in Turkey and Kazahstan. A lot of people could not even tell you where these countries are located. Most think in terms of the Middle East. I work in this region and find both countries to be stable and safe environments. Maybe Kazahstan a little bit more than Turkey. Turkey suffered a little with the Iraq war. Having made the above statement I think the "good luck and get real" comment was a bit unfair. You have the advantage of living in Mexico and "inside information". Better to educate than to critise. JMHO. I am concerned about the left shift that seems to be happening in South America. Will Mexico be immune? Stay tuned.<g> I have a couple of fairly large investments in Peru. Also in Mexico, which has been very active in the two years or so. I think it all started with CKG myself. BWDIK? Keep posting! Wayne
