RE: Ecuador playing gameYou give the Ecuadorian government way too much credit for undeserved intelligence.
They blow off the best bull market in recent memory with pie in the sky dreams of windfall taxes and nationalizations only to be seeing the light as the financial world crumbles. They could have had a copper mine in production at $4 copper since early 2007.
Pooh Pooh on the Ecuadorian government. They get what they deserve.
