info, you're right, jimmi pretty much summed it up....the only thing i'd add is a commentary about roys comment regarding ven officials getting upset with gringo investors calling and harrasing them.......

there's an easy way to stop the harrassment....they could do thier job...

also, does venezuela (and the venezuelan people) REALLY, really, really think they will be better off by completely screwing over north american investors??? maybe they should ask the cuban people how that worked out for them first. when they get to miami they better learn how to say "no" once in awhile. americans will only take getting jerked around for a limited time....it's in our culture.
