Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - 2025 Political Risk
When looking at resource companies like mining or energy - where you invest is critical. Avoid companies operating in politically unstable regions, such as the Congo and Venezuela, or in countries with little respect for property rights and the rule of law such as Tanzania, Russia or Mongolia. Resources are a politically vulnerable business; you can’t move a mine or well to another country, once the infrastructure is in place, there are few options when the host country tries to extort the asset, or take most of the profits. Just like real estate, it is all about, location, location, location.
