Just a thought on the widely used term “country risk” using the two countries mentioned, Nigeria and Argentina. I think it’s a mistake to throw these two countries into the same “country risk pot” without quantifying / qualifying the specific risks. I would argue that the actual risk level in Nigerian is quite low as the situation, as bad as it may be, is fairly constant and thus quantifiable whereas the situation in Argentina is in constant flux and thus virtually impossible to quantify.

Fortunately ralph, I don't think it's a prerequisite to have people jumping up and down as a prerequisite to talk about it, on the Tiger thread. Just talking aloud and batting ideas around and I think constructive poo - pooing is part of the deal. Actually I think the fundies are aligned really well, given the company being not discussed and the country. :)
