The more I read about this deal the more sick it makes me. These stock promoters are not going to be able to rape small shareholders forever without them taking their business elsewhere.

I have heard that the Autralian juniors are doing well and are getting liquidity from pension funds, of all places. We should put together a team to investigate opportunities there.

A unified electronic trading network for all Latin America is long overdue. At the moment their markets are fragmented, but bring them together under one roof, and you watch the effect of that.

This is my next project after I'm done with Aurelian. Why should the 500 million people of Latin America be left out of the investment side of their own industrial and social development? Why should they have to settle for mere jobs, when they can participate fully in the rewards of these significant opportunities, via mutual funds, pension plans, and direct private investment?

The basic elements of liquidity and regulation are achieveable, now that the technology is here. Why should Canadian juniors list on the TSX when they can go straight to el Mercado del Sur, where greater depth and independent oversight are the rule?

Doesn't anyone see the irony of focusing on corruption down there, when the very same problem is so entrenched right here? I'd give the latinos better than even odds of getting it right, once they realize the amount of international business it would generate.
