Wall Street Prepares Beach Photos in Venezuela While Maduro Takes a US Detour
KEY POINTS
- •Following Maduro's January capture, about 20 US investors are scheduled to visit Venezuela in March.
- •Charles Myers of Signum Global Advisors said foreign investments in oil, tourism, and construction will lead Venezuela's recovery.
- •Myers emphasized the US-directed nature of Maduro's ouster increased investor enthusiasm, compared to situations like Syria.
Right after Nicolás Maduro got airlifted into US custody with all the subtlety of a Hollywood hostage scene on January’s last weekend, about 20 US investors dusted off their passports and grabbed sunscreen for their March Venezuela trip. Charles Myers from Signum Global Advisors—whose firm hosted cheeky investment tours to war zones like Syria and Ukraine—promised oil, gas, and tourism will be the shiny new hot spots here. Without bothering about moral grocery lists, Myers gave a thumbs-up to ‘cautious optimism,’ adding that ‘this time it’s US-directed,’ which makes everything better. Foreign investment is apparently the magical rescue plan for Venezuela’s economy, assuming no souvenir shops on Caracas' main streets get looted first.

Venezuela's economy reboot plan is basically, 'Hey, bring your checkbooks and beach gear, Maduro's gone on an involuntary US vacation.'
Apparently, Venezuela’s economic recovery plan is a US-backed group trip for investors to watch oil flow and pick vacation homes while Maduro Netflixs from a federal suite.
Waiting for investors to realize Venezuela's 'cautious optimism' infinitely improves when your tour guide is the US military's latest hostage extraction.
