Venezuela's bonds have surged 18.7% this year on rumors of President Chavez's continuing cancer challenges.
But...experts predict that bondholders are in for a rude awakening if Chavez wins... because he is sure to devalue the nation's currency...the Bolivar...by as much as 31%...to 6.2 per usd.
One economist calls the Bolivar...'the most overvalued currency in Latin America.'
Latest polls give Chavez 40% over opponent Capriles' 30%...ahead of the October election.
