^mining companies in Mexico are sketchy investments because they have a history of nationalization.
As Carlos Slim is probably more powerful than the whole Mexican gov., i don´t expect any nationalization moves soon. He is substancially exposed to the mining sector (see e.g. here http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/4911999 ) and would suffer from that.^mining companies in Mexico are sketchy investments because they have a history of nationalization.
Yes.Swissaustrian, do you live in die Schweiz?
After doing some research on GORO, I found this controversy between GORO and an author from Barrons who basicly claims that the company is a fraud. See here:

Defense by the company: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...s-article-the-glittering-prize-125017169.html
This author from Barron´s probably shorted the hell out of GORO before publishing his article.Barron's article was a smear.
Mexico confiscation is not too likely. However, security is an issue. Drug business is stealing trucks, etc. Co. has good security.
On the subject of miners.. I'm not quite sure if I want to get out of miners and into more physical at the moment or just ride out this storm. If the markets crash hard the miners will probably be brought down with it for a short period of time until people realize how undervalued some of them are with PM prices reaching such nominal highs. I'll most likely just ride out the storm and hold the miners I like most. Has anyone sold their miners in anticipation of the prices going lower from the markets crashing? IMO, I think its safer to hold the miners, because people will have tons of cash from selling their stocks and there will be so few places people will be willing to put it. PMs and miners will be looking very attractive to a lot more people soon..
Seems like the market finally realizes this epic undervaluation of the miners:Do not sell the miners. They are at EPIC levels of undervaluation relative to the metal. Fortunes will be made in the next few years by buying the miners. The metal will go much higher but it is presently 22% above its 200 day moving average. If you feel the need to do something at the margin sell a little spot gold and use the proceeds to buy the quality miners.
I want to generate some cash flow from my pm investments.
Therefore i´m searching for gold mining companies that peg their dividends to the price of gold.
I only know one: NEM.
Do you know others?
That´s not what I´m searching for. I own some blue chips (telecommunications, food, utilities, oil etc.) with yields arround 5-9%.Thats a rare find for the industry. If you want a firm that throws off some dividends, you aren't going to find it in PM Miners. You should try a mid cap contract driller, or maybe an industrial manufacturer.
