I always wanted to get into ARU but missed every chance I had. So this time I grabbed some shares. I'm averaged over $4.00 though because I first bought at five and then grabbed some more as she pulled back further.

I personally don't think things are going to be that bad. It's a small faction in the gov't that's pushing this. In a country like Ecuador they could be bought off or killed off. ARU is too huge for them to kill it and once they realize what they're risking, they'll settle down.

there's about 13 million ounces there. So even if the government ups the tax there's still going to be lot's left over. The Beatles got rich paying 90% tax!
