As I was saying....

Anyone still holding Kinross shares should read this:

I'd translate the Spanish, but you know what? I'm so fed up with these people I never want to read another one of their vainglorious pronouncements ever again, much less turn it into readable English.

As of today, Ecuador is off my list of places to invest FOREVER. In hindsight I really should have seen it coming. You people were there. You know what I mean. How many hare-brained schemes did the constitutional committee come up with before they ran out of time and had to steam-roll the whole sorry mess through with no time left to debate? How many tiny little self-interest groups were able to attach their particular fantasy to a document which should have been short and to the point, like....well, you know - the one the USA used to have. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

So what now, Tye?
