RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Who is Petersburg, my wife is a travel agent and tends to get a lot of data on places like Mexico. We also tend to know a lot of people who travel. Mexico is probably not as dangerous as the media makes it out to be. I have heard a lot of accounts from people who have been there and they are fine on going back. Some parts are not safe, especially near the US border and on the drug routes. I agree with you in principle on avoiding certain jurisdictions for fear of some form of confiscation. Over the last year or so I have been making a conscious effort to do the same. I think Argentina is soon to be on the everyone knows to avoid list. I sold my Yamana shortly after they put in exchange controls and before they seized the oil company YPF. I am also lightening up on Kinross for political safety reasons. I would not go overweight in Mexico but I do own 2 companies that mine there and am comfortable with that.
