Well, at long last, the United States is thawing it's long standing position of effectively shutting Cuba off from the US economy. For now, that means the beginnings of travel. Cigars and rum can trickle in, but not on a commercial level. We are a long way away from foreign real estate ownership or foreign investment in general. For now, the new policies are more or less cosmetic. But.....the door is cracking open. Opening up possibilities of travel. Opening up markets who may not have much money yet, but they sure do want to get a crack at all the bounty on the table so close but so far away. Far away, but getting closer...
There have been people waiting to invest in Cuba since they got thrown out. Many died waiting, others gave up and moved on. This has been a l o n g time coming.
My questions to you are simple. What does this mean to you? How do you think this will really unfold? How does this emerging market RIGHT NEXT FREAKING DOOR look to you? Is this not a once in a generation event?
Cuba has not yet given up Communism, but I still think that the examples shown to us by countries that have become "former-Communist" states should be seen as illustrative. If the past is any indication of the future, and it generally is, this will be anything but boring. Fortunes will be made in that tropical land.
