With no news from KRY or the Vennies it's easy for someone like Roy to say whatever he wants.

I would expect Sanz will eventually be replaced as rotating ministers seems to be a big part of the Chavez plan to subdue and confuse the masses. Everyone dealing with old ministers have to start all over again with new ministers.

I searched Maria Ingleses, Sanz's supposed replacement (according to Roy) and came up with blanks.

The Chinese connection is something we have been yaking about for awile. China/ Columbian trade is recently reported to be up, so Venezela/China mining partnerships make sense too.

One of the things that Roy does here is subplant short term doubt with potential investors in KRY by saying that a Chinese deal wont happen until January, since his story is really the only "news" out there. Later, we might figure out why he wrote this.

So nothing has changed. I am still holding and hoping to see some unexplainable spikes in price and volume before Roy's January deal prediction.
