Remember the French Connection --- lol lol --
Ok now on to 6 degrees of separation .....
Barrick comment has come on this board as of late, and possibly should have been off topic, just as perhaps this comment should be, but "fools rush in where angels ..."
I visited Barrick's website about a month ago (forget the exact reason now) and noticed the following person on their board of directors
Gustavo Cisneros
Caracas, Venezuela
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Cisneros Group of Companies
Mr. Cisneros has been a Director of Barrick since 2003.
Now I recall the Barrick CEO saying that they were not interested in a country like VZ so I know it is a stretch to really make a connection with this director because of his citizenship and any future relationships Barrick might contemplate but current Barrick comments reignited "whatifs". And of course that's all they are; whatifs. But Barrick IS looking for more gold -- 20 million ounces would be a good start. I am sure their pockets are deep enought, and given the Canadian content of the board ... well I'll let you conjecture and connect your own dots.
And, oh yea, interesting that he has ONLY been on the board since 2003. Am I good at putting conspiracies together or what!!!
BTW Have not done any DD on Mr. Cisneros.
