If Pemex shuts the gas fields due to security concerns... won't this affect gas supply?... higher gas prices???

I'm not sure if you're refering to a real church or what, but, and you probably know this, it's my understanding that if they do in fact complete the task of building a church, it becomes a taxable property. I don't think I've ever seen a church without scaffolding set up somewhere around it.

Then again, maybe you're talking about your house. :biggrin:

Bob H - 12-4-2010 at 12:46 PM

WHAT.... no mention of the completeion of the Escalera Nautica project?

Bob Pisani is a good man, and worth paying attention to, at least a little, that is. NOBODY can accurately "predict" the Market or the Economy----NOBODY.

Hmmmmmm, But what he says about Mexico is very interesting----

Saw Carlos Slim on the full hour of LARRY KING last night----that also was very interesting------he is bullish on Mexico (wants everybody to invest there----no surprise :lol:

), that is for sure. Duh!!!! He is now the worlds richest man, according to Forbes.

Wish I'd seen that. Did Carlos fall asleep? He sure does know the safe places to show himself.

...and that the PEMEX on the Buffadora road, where construction started in 8/2007, will open :lol:

woody with a view - 12-4-2010 at 05:12 PM

yeah, Barry. nobody can predict the market (it will be different than it was yesterday. how's that?). that wasn't the reason i posted the link. just saw a report that the US is training an elite Mexican squad to deal with the cartels. apparently, the report saw the light of day because of wikileaks. another reason that site/guy should meet his maker. plenty of other ways to get your 15 minutes of fame.

anyways, the cartels should start to see their ranks decline BIGTIME in 2011. do they really think that they are up to the challenge of the US Special Forces? tick, toc. tick, toc.

maybe Mexico has a chance after all! :yes:

durrelllrobert - 12-4-2010 at 05:13 PM

I predict that TSA wil abandon the current full-body scan x-ray and pat down in favor of the Israeli syytem. It’s a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial. Justice would be swift. Case closed!

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system . . . "Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight number XXXX. Shalom!"

DavidE - 12-4-2010 at 05:27 PM

A SURE CONTENDER FOR WINNER!

"I won't be tired of going to Mexico"

woody with a view - 12-4-2010 at 06:21 PM

yep!

i never tire of GOING to baja. it's the GETTING BACK that is getting old....... :light:

oladulce - 12-5-2010 at 12:41 AM

I predict that 2011 will mark the 2nd year oladulce and BigWooo will have been waiting for their 3rd and final attempt (spanning 6 years) at getting an Environmental Impact Study through SEMARNAT that would've allowed them to build their modest little, low impact casita and live happily ever after in Baja while being good little gringo retiree foreigners.

But while jumping thru the hoops and over the Mexican government hurdles, they will fall, hit their heads and subsequently forget what they were waiting for.

So instead, they'll stack the 3000 concrete blocks that had been sitting idly in their yard waiting for the construction that never began, in to a pyramid. They'll conduct nightly laser light shows in the desert with the power generated from their unused solar panels. They will convert the mammoth, mega-dollar, 4 concrete chamber (only partially used) , SEMARNAT-dictated septic system in to wine cellars not remembering that they aren't big wine drinkers, but will live happily ever after anyway.

Oh Great One....will the boat slips be installed?

Don't get discouraged, it eventually all come out in the wash.
