Mandela's New Job

[Bradley Mayer]

I was poking around to see why gold stocks have gone
up so much in the last few months (they 
are the the best-performing sector in the NY stock
market right now), and I found this passage in a 
analyst commentary:

"The world's battered economies, the ones that rely on
metals and other natural resources for 
their livelihoods, like Ghana, Australia, South
Africa, Chile, Canada, even Russia, will be less 
battered. We'll be seeing more folk heroes from the
top bullion producers, like South Africa's 
Nelson Mandela this week, ringing the bell at the New
York Stock Exchange, or listing on the 
Toronto Stock Exchange"

So, _that's_  what Mr. Mandela's doing these days:  A
bell-ringer for the NYSE!  (I wonder who handles his
portfolio?)

Who's next, Fidel Castro?
