Thanks for posting the 10.9 rules, infojoe.

My position always has been that the announcement will be made by Chavez first and therefore if this is true we might be in for a prolonged wait (if you think 2 days is prolonged in our case).

My only question concerning the permit and Chinese deal, and if this is what is about to occur: How does Chavez announce the deal before the shareholder vote? Unless the Chinese and Hugo have accumulated enough shares to ensure the yes vote on a deal?

Have we been beaten down for long enough for that accumulation to have happened?
