THIRD WORLD RISKI like all my assets to be in the usa or canada ....
I have learned a lot over the years and the last thing I want is to wake up one morning to have my "gold mine" taken over by some Castro-loving dictator in disguise .....
ARU is better at cheaper prices, and I think that's where its heading .... its worth more, but's the mine is in Eucador(sp?) ... right?
There is enough specific company risk, let alone the risk of gov't takeover ....
Occidental lost an oil field in Ecuador this year ...
Newmont lost a gold mine over near Russia ....
I recommend WESTERN OIL SANDS (WTO) for takeover potential in the near-term ....much safer
