Investing In Venezuela Oil Is A Bad Business Case

2. Investing in Venezuela infrastructure before Orange Julius' attack was also a bad business move

I’m not supporting Orange Julius’ operation, but both Maduro’s and Chavez’s erratic economic policies put almost everyone’s investment in local infrastructure at risk. That is a major reason Venezuela’s economy is such a hot mess. For all the heartfelt concern about the structural inequalities in Venezuelan society pre-Chavez, nationalizing investments puts corporations’ investments at risk, and no CEO needing to please lenders or shareholders would dare invest big big bucks into properties that might be expropriated out from under them by some unexpected whim of Maduro or his predecessor.

Speaking of erratic chiefs of state, I understand there’s another one north of Tamaulipas’ and Chihuahua’s border with Texas.
