RE:Huge Stock Price DropThe Chile business could be more than just a tax. I believe there are more implications than meet the eye. For example, a state run company named Codelco is, I believe, supposed to "renegotiate" the terms of the deal between SQM and the Gov't of Chile. If they decide to play hardball, I don't think that SQM would have much choice but to go along. ALB is in the same boat. If a South American or Central American country wants to renege on a contract, there is nothing a company on the short end of the stick can do but sue. Good luck with that.
