<p>I contacted the fellow who brought Nanologix  (Pink Sheets: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NNLX.PK">NNLX.PK</a>) to my attention initially (Barry B.), asking him if he&#8217;d be interested in writing a guest post about it here. My e-mail caught him on vacation in Belize, but he said he&#8217;d take as stab at a guest post here when he got back. Barry knows a lot more about this one than me, so, in the meantime, if anyone has any questions about this company, leave them in the comments and I&#8217;ll see if I can get Barry to address them in his post. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of years ago on the old blog, I <a href="http://thehackensack.blogspot.com/2008/11/lowest-priced-stock-market-in-world.html">posted</a> about how cheap Venezuela&#8217;s stock market was. Back then, it had an average P/E of 2. Checking the FT&#8217;s <a href="http://markets.ft.com/ft/markets/reports/FTReport.asp?dockey=RAT-120310">Yield &#038; P/E by Country</a> (PDF) today, the average P/E is now 0.4 (though the average dividend yield has dropped from ~20% to ~15%). As I mentioned in the old post, the obvious explanation for the low valuation is the fear of nationalization or expropriation by the Chavez government. Thinking about this some more though, I wonder if it would be possible to pick a small basket of Venezuelan companies unlikely to be nationalized or have their assets expropriated. Offhand, I would think the best candidates for this would be relatively small, niche, companies that serve business customers, particularly ones that require enough skilled labor that the workforce couldn&#8217;t easily be replaced. Might be worth doing some research on this. </p>
