Chavez's health and the election have never been so important before. Many things may happen that will be to our benefit and very little can happen to hurt us.

No matter who is in charge our case is very solid and if we go the distance it won't matter who is in charge.

If a change of government happens with a rational leader who is open to foreign investment on a fair basis then we may benefit from remaining in the mining picture. I want out of VZ asap but if a real deal was made with VZ, China Rail and us that was actually viable it would bring us back to a strong position for investors.

No pipe dream here! All I know we are in a better position today vs 1 week ago. When the financials are done and we get back on a Canadian exchange we should see volume return.
