#1 It's a good thing spring is coming ... otherwise, 1-800-JOE-4-OIL could be in serious trouble.

#2 Hey Hugo, how about closing your borders so the peasants can starve w/o bothering the rest of us? Ask the Russians or Norks for technical advice.

#3 Hugo has a problem.

He destroyed his tax base and is running out of companies to seize. His test of columbia's borders didn't go well, so he won't be able to acquire by conquest.

Oil is his best card, so expect him to screw around with pricing and delivery.

I predict the gallows for chavey.

#6 I expect this is the prelude to the seizure of Polar under non-complaince. There will be nothing even offered.

Chavez is showing the whip hand now, it's pretty much all he has left.
