Postings re: violence in State of Guerrero

You may have noticed a sudden increase in the number of postings here regarding violence in the State of Guerrero.  It is my opinion that this increase in postings is meant to scare investors away from mining companies that are operating in the state.  You should consider the following facts:
  • many of these posters have never posted on the TMM board and have shown up suddenly as is obvious if you review their posting history.
  • they are posting the same stories on the TMM, NES and TXG boards.
  • it is obvious that some of these posters have multiple accounts that they are posting under, which again is supported by the boards they have posted on in the past.
  • violence in the State of Guerrero is nothing new and has not impacted these mining companies in the past as they have implemented strong security protocols
  • none of these companies have made any statements recently that the violence is impacting operations or that there are concerns that it may.

This all points to subtle efforts by these posters to bash these stocks.  By giving these posters 5-star ratings on their posts you are only supporting this activity.  These posts are of no value unless they directly show that the ongoing violence is in any way impacting TMM or its operations.

Violence is an unfortunate means of dealing with local concerns. To paint the ...more

Break. Right now it's all in Guerrero where the mining companies here operate and the drug cartels and farmers are growing dope. The army has/ is continues to be weaker and the police are owned by the cartel. The army has been trying to solve this for several years and have failed thus far. Area violence is only increasing.

Davgro the news is NOT imaginary. This violence is occuring around the mining properties and roads. The fact that 2 mining companies suspended operations do to the threats on it's employess and Torex had some abducted at one point is a serious consideration. Even Coca Cola can't operate in the state safely. That is only pop how safe is gold?

The fact is that its has not affected TMM's operations.  If it has impacted TXG or other mining companies than post the information on those boards. Until I hear something negative from TMM management concerning violence in the State of Guerrero it is a non-issue with regards to my stock position in TMM.  Recent analyst reviews of TMM and the NES acquisition have made no ...more
