makin, i agree... i really think post chavez will be a good time to get into venezuela....but you never know, sometimes these things require a "transition period"...there's a lot of damage to deal with in venezuela...the hardest thing to overcome will be getting venezuelans off thier asses and back to work after living the socialist "dream" for years....

initially you're gonna have a large segment of the population wondering "where's my check mang?"

but a large influx of foriegn investment should help that...
