Oh dear, a plot in argieland and now a plot in venezoolu. Of course there are plots against both of you. People are trying to get rid of you. You both evade the democratic process and the rule of law. Keep it up and someone impatient may decide to shoot you. Give it up. You may spend the rest of your miserable lives in prison, but isn't that better than being dead?

Chile was a mess after 3 years of Allende.....Today Venezuela and Argentina have had the same management, but since 1998 and 2003. The only thing preventing chaos is more inept control. What does this mean? Millions can be made in shorting China? (like russia leading up to xmas). Should we hoard commodities? I don't know. But I do know the world is going to change when CFK leaves on a broomstick. That's around the same time the dolar passes 666 to the 700s pesos in Chile and the bottom falls out from the Real.
