I feel pretty much in the dark about the whole thing tbh. But yes, clearly not the full story in that article. Seems a shame that it turned out this way as Ortega does seem to have done some very good things for Nic but I guess power corrupts.
I think that as long as getting Ortega out is done by the ballot box and not a violent uprising then it’s not actually that bad. There are plenty of company’s operating mines in Nicaragua and the next leader would not want to jeopardise the country’s 2nd largest source of income. I think that some may try to use this unrest to play the share price but doubt that much will change as long as the process, as said above, is democratic. I also don’t think it’s the whole country against him. As another poster said it’s actually difficult to get in biased news from what’s actually going on. Even if the people feel he should go, which perhaps he should considering some of the underhanded tactics he has used to stay in. The locals working with Condor seem to have a positive view of the company and the benefits. Each to thier own but I have never sold any only added on the dips. I have a modest holding compared to some but large for my own financial situation. Mark is doing a great job in my opinion. Good luck to all, whatever your strategy :)
I’m still a bit confused as to why the 2 exchanges have a 25% difference. It looks as if we would be better off transferring to the TSX. Does anyone know the costs involved in that? I guess similar to a bed and isa transfer? I was just going to stay on AIM but I’m getting a bit annoyed at the difference now.....
