"Mexico is arguably the best place in the world for mining projects."

Beware the Mexican jabberwocky:

The unemployment data doesn't reflect the employment of illegals and the decline in their numbers. Remittance data gives a clue to what's happening here: banxico.org.mx.

Keep an eye on Mexican oil production and return of illegals from the US: could endanger political stability and the future of US/Canadian mining ventures.

I'm not making a prediction, just keeping all the factors in mind. I own EXN, SVL, MFN

López Obrador never had a chance post-election, worries to that effect were completely unfounded ... remember i said at the time, he is only making himself an object of ridicule, well that's what happened ... Mexico is changing, has changed considerably in the last few years, there is better and more widespread education, as time passes fewer people are susceptible to that oldtime socialist ranting ... also the ruling class, which retains power as in any other country you can name, is gradually more accepting of the benefits of meritocracy and playing it half-way straight for a change

There are issues, as there are anywhere else ... pogo makes two good points - remittances are down due to the anti-indigenous hysteria in the US, and Cantarell is running out of oil ... the country has been through worse, and will be more resilient than many outsiders think, without being so short-sighted as to rip off the gringo allies ... better off with los Hijos than subject to a populace that would vote in a Chávez or a Bush

tys.v - yes on hearing the news, first thing i thought of Metalline ... and instantly after, Constellation - now there is a cheapie for them

Got a little bit of fresh ammo, hmm let's see, should i add mmg in the 2.20s when i've already got it up the wazoo, or Tom's usa.v in the high .70s ... it's a coin tosser, but, left all my change in the truck, so there's a message from the sky, keep powder dry till tomorrow, lol
