Investors are already eyeing
Investors are already eyeing financial opportunities in Venezuela following Maduro's ouster. Charles Myers, chairman of Signum Global Advisors, said he's preparing to visit Venezuela in March.
Myers said it's not the responsibility of his firm to take a "moral position" on whether it was right or wrong for the US to involve itself in Venezuela's government, but rather to help the firm's clients anticipate investment opportunities or mitigate risk due to geopolitical events.
What brilliance!
Your normal hedge fund manager with his eye firmly on the prize.
