“The Venezuela Stock Market is now up 312.62% for the year to date in bolivar terms, though only 181.63% in official rate dollar terms because of a February devaluation, but still making it the best performing stock market in the world. Real returns in the unofficial dollar market are less. On January 1, one US dollar could buy approximately 20 bolivars in the unofficial black market. On Friday in Cucuta, Colombia, across the Venezuelan border — where the unofficial market in bolivar/dollars is not illegal — one US dollar could be sold for 46 bolivars.”
