Hi Koan

I don't have an answer to your question, but re:silver
thought you'd enjoy this ...

The price of silver could rise about 40 per cent over the next 18 months, and investors should buy shares in three Canadian silver companies that will benefit as the commodity catches up in price with the other precious metals, according to UBS Securities Canada Inc.

In my experience Kazakhstan is a good spot for investors. It is to some extent a kleptocracy, and the lowball takeovers of a few companies by Russian concerns have been worrisome, but in general the current tax and governmental regimes are favourable to resource exploitation, with no signs of imminent change.

Kazakhstan is probably the most business-friendly of the former SSRs, including Russia itself.
