Appreciate the sentiments JC & others.  Crystallex is sometimes better described as an "ordeal" rather than an investment.  It's project location and language barrier hinders proper DD.  I scour the foreign and domestic press for tidbits that may give us insight.  Although timing is always an issue, significant news regarding this project will surface soon.  The Chavez government is floundering and needs to regain the confidence of the electorate.  The PSUV will suffer a debilitating defeat come November if immediate measures are not taken.  Sanz was brought in to rectify problems Khan left behind.  You see in the article pictures Sanz standing ON SITE, shoulder-to-shoulder with the workers, not sitting behind a bureaucratic desk.  I have high hopes for our plight being over posthaste.

Good luck to us all and thanks again!
