Although i read and agree with beno on most things gold is not going to 10,000 and oil will go down for a short period of time. ( not good for Hugo, his oil production is down).
As far as the ceo's and KRY not understanding and getting caught off guard by vz politics i have a different take. Kry has been in VZ for over 15 yrs and they know it takes time to get things done. i.e. statements made by KRY & RM . I believe everyone including officials in the VZ did not see this coming. A rogue politician in one agency is hard to see coming. An important item is that if the U.S. mine gets to start back up this truly bodes well for all.
Yes news is important, whats more important is the institutions holding and adding shares. You can read article until your blue in the face and you will not have much more insight to whats going on.
This is Hugo's call and i believe he gave ( orders ) to Sanz on how to handle this mess, and either take care of it or report back.
There is far to much at stake for this permit not to ,ratings for Hugo, unemployment, trade agreements with Canada and other foreign investments.
