The move fulfills an election promise by the leftist president, who has forged close ties with Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela' Hugo Chavez, to increase state control over Bolivia's natural resources, which he says have been "looted" by foreign companies. http://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2006-05-01-bolivia_x.htm?csp=34          Value Investing Forum Forum Index -> Financial Analysis & Economy Page 1 of 1 Search Engine Indexer BlastInvest @2005 p h p B B © 2001, 2002 p h p B B Group
