(anyone know if tensions between Georgia and Russia have been an ongoing thing making this conflict inevitable? if so, then no black swan).

Can't you google, or wiki before writing pearls of wisdom. This is a long-standing conflict, hardly a black swan. Also, all tied up in oil pipeline politics surrounding Caspian oil. Pundits should do their homework ! ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:56:21 -0400

1. Ecuador is poor, lacks VZ's oil, and needs economic development.
2. Pres. Correa has a Phd in economics from U. of Illinois, Urbana - while Chavez did not attend university, and had an entirely military career. Chavez thinks command and control; while Correa is critical of Wall St., he knows economics.
3. Extractive industries are controversial in Ecuador; although mining is new, Texaco and other oil companies caused major public health and environmental damage in Ecuador.

Sure, Correa has to ride herd on a raucus political process, but at the end of the day, I think western miners who can "dance with the music" will find happiness in Ecuador. ]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:08:55 -0400

Ecuador (that's how it's spelled, btw) has suffered massive public health and environmental problems from Texaco and successor oil operations.

Don't they have a right to decide how and when they allow large-scale mining to begin? -

BTW, I have a position in Aurelian, and feel the current pain ! ]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:03:02 -0400
