Bolivia Mine Nationalization No Threat to SAC

Ticker Trax (04/15/2011)
"South American Silver shares on the TSX got clocked. The Bolivia enterprise lost 21% in a day (Thursday) on 11 times its usual trading activity. On Friday the stock shot forward again. SAC Board Member John Watson told me, 'Bolivia is re-nationalizing a couple of operations that were sold off to Glencor back in the 1990s. Spooked the market, but not likely to be applicable to SAC.' All well and good. In the wake of Bolivia nationalizing efforts on four mines in that country, investors are wary. Enough so that SAC Friday said its concession in Bolivia has no government link that would require nationalization of the mine. Bravo for an informative press release. The $200M market-cap SAC has plenty of shares that plenty of short sellers covet. Mr. Watson hopes this is just a 'good chance to reboot the share price." Ticker Trax
