Yup. Really makes you wonder.
I broke your rules. I abide to follow them in the future.
LOL I canceled my L2 last night with them too. I've been put here cause I posted a link showing what a bunch of the same posters were saying on another forum and that was sooooo wrooong. Funny how that's not considered valid DD by this crew, which is what I SAID IN MY POST. Oh well. They lost my subscription and L2 business, and they're letting pros pump.
Thats what it looks like to me!
That depends. FB hasn't played it's first card yet as to what it will do with the billions it just received. M&A would be the obvious, and a little company like this that has a nitch that could be a major FB advancement would certainly be a plus. Also don't forget - FB can't infringe on our patents.
So quiet, must be something brewing. I've never seen it so quiet here.
Can Bob dump his holdings right now? I wonder if that was the phantom 10mil yesterday. Another dismal day without a PR or status of company or leadership. Great communication! I think I'll string together some PROBABLE information. LOL
Pieced together?!? Totally unofficial. Is that how this company runs? Can they piece together financials or a PR that states where the company currently stands or what their outlooks is?
What NET INCOME? Is the 2012 income for this company in a PR I missed - or was it emailed to someone? Wait, I'll look at the balance sheet - oh right, I forgot, there isn't one. Oh well. PROBABLE! LOL
Probable - like the PR I posted for revenue from Q1 of 2011. I guess PROBABLE with this company means 'not likely'.
Thanks for that. I'm sure it's improper, just like the improper bribery charges that would have put a CE tag on anyway.
The indictment PR from March 2010 which Bob is fighting Bribery charges for at this very moment:

A buyout tender of $0.15 cents for all issued and outstanding common shares of Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. was recently rejected by the Board of Directors; however, the Majority Shareholders, Robert L. Cotton & Sharon Vazquez have decided that the offer from Freedom Network should be disclosed to our shareholders as further thoughts on the matter are being evaluated and considered.

The following letter from Mr. Jacobs is herein under paraphrased:
"In lieu of the fact that you have decided not to accept our buyout offer of $0.15 per share, the board and I are deliberating the possibility of increasing our buyout offer. The 2011 projected earnings of Cotton and Western, the recent acquisition of the additional mine and the rising iron prices add significant value to your company. The board and I believe that a potential buyout in the range of $0.18 per share may be warranted. We are reviewing a number of investment opportunities as we continue to diversify in the small-cap arena. Nevertheless, we hope to consummate a deal in the coming days with your company. Information regarding where shareholders may tender their shares will be provided at the appropriate time, once an official offer has been approved by all parties."

CWRN: $32,000,000.00 Projected 1st Quarter 2011 Revenues
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - December 30, 2010) - Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CWRN) -- Robert L. Cotton, President of Cotton & Western Mining, Inc., says, "The Baja Pacific raw crude iron ore mining project will yield $32,000,000.00 in first quarter revenues as the Company moves November and December finished production to 2011 for sales."
Management is preparing "Mina Guadalupe" for the raining season, spreading more sand on the inside roads, and screening two large stockpiles of -50mm natural materials and the 0-3mm crushed materials together with final finished product 3-18mm raw crude iron ore materials for shipping. The Company is bringing the November and December production forward to the first quarter 2011 for the China Seaborne CFR sales; this combined with the new production in 2011 will yield approximately $32,000,000.00 in first quarter revenues. Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, the Company will increase finished iron ore production to over 100,000 metric tons per month. The mobile processing flow-chart will be configured using closed circuit looping that will incorporate the primary crushing jaw to the secondary crushing cone to the primary screening plant that will loop +18mm back to the cone while feeding the 3-18mm to the magnetic separator and feeding the 1-3mm waste materials to a secondary screening plant that will also feed the magnetic separator while discharging -1mm waste out that will be transported to the waste dumper. The new configuration will eliminate dual handling of materials for screening and processing while producing finished products in sizes 1-18mm for bulk shipments in one continuous operating system.
Year to Date Review:
The Company completed the "Mina Guadalupe" iron mineral mine development in four months, that included all state and federal permitting, land-usage and land access together with surface rights agreements with the land-owners. Mine stripping and extraction preparations were completed under SAMERNAT ECO 120 in 90 days and full mineral extraction began on November the 5th, 2010. Over 200,000 metric tons of various iron minerals and waste materials were processed in less than 60 days, while Management accomplished the development to production of 118,000 metric tons of iron ore within that period of time and coming in $3,000,000.00 under the line item start-up budget. The Company would like to recognize all the management staff of Panamerican Minerals Ventures, S.A. de C.V. (Baja Mexico) that worked tirelessly seven days a week coordinating every detailed item that came up while finding the correct solution for many difficulties that arise while starting a new project in a foreign country together with the mining superintendent Andres Garcia and his hard work and coordination with the mining crews -- all have contributed to the success of the project in the most professional manner.

Can you post the indictment again? Seems like we are doing a repost of everything available, might as well do that one too - or is that no good cause it's not beneficial? An honest level look at this stock is all one needs to figure out that it's fishy with an indicted CEO.
Yes, the shorters. Not the indicted CEO, lack of transparency, CE, unfulfilled promises ('300mil in Q1 Revenue!!!'), uplisting that never happened, buyback that never happened, audited financials that never happened, imminent shipment before the end of 2011 that never happened, fake buyout offer, on and on and on. Man, those shorters really play hardball.
Yes, those dirty SEC agents, NOT dirty Bob. ::yawn::
Now THATS a picture for the board! LOL
Bob should have sold this company long before it came to this. We'd all be much better off. Problem is, he's too greedy. Greed always comes first with people like him.
I wonder if we'll ever see a PR again... Really no transparency with this company, even with a new President (which you would have thought would get a PR immediatly when it occured). Something is not right here.
And where is your proof of THAT? See, we can go back and forth all day, but the fact of the matter is this - CWRN has no transparency, so you have no idea what is true or false at this point in time. We heard we were the only ones back in March 2011 - it's now June 2012.
We need to wait to hear from the new president about the status of the company and books. In the mean time, it's a waiting game regardless of shipping, mining, and anything else with this stock.
I love how all this proof of what other companies are and aren't doing is so important, yet the fact that financials, CE/ uplisting, buyback, etc etc for THIS company is not being discussed. Wait, I know, we've discussed it in detail already. Yeah, and it still is status quo with no movement. No proof is needed of what other companies are doing, just this one on this board. Give it a rest.
I just gotta smile :)
If you are reading level 2, you need to add one zero to what you are seeing - not two.
Hu? I'm looking at L2 and there isn't anything close to that.
No, Ensenada's port schedule that is posted on the site with all of those bulk ships coming in, as well as all the other cargo ships only ship CWRN iron ore. They don't care for other companies to ship in or out from the port unless it's from Bob.
A simple search and going on a shipping forum will answer your question.
I've said that all along. Per the last PR, ore at the port was sold and done with and the buyer was to figure out shipping. CWRN is NOT the only one shipping ore at this port in that case.
All well and good, but now there is a corporate reputation to rebuild. I think it's pretty obvious there is major concern by investors looking at the volume today, even with the news that Bob is out of the picture. Too much uncertainty right now that won't be cleared up by any amount of production. Unfortunate, but we know how we got here.
Good post. Very fair assement.
About time!
WHOA! Did I miss that paperwork? That should be in a sticky.
He hasn't managed to figure out how to take a picture of the financials yet either, but the DOJ is gonna take a nice picture of him soon - a mugshot. LOL
My mistake ! In that case though - can you tell me why there are now pictures allowed at the port again? Thought they weren't allowed during the period when everyone said so many shipments were going out. Weird that the non-PR'ed ghost shipments weren't allowed to have pictures at the port, but now pictures at the port are here again!
Oh, and who said this was a CWRN shipment? PR a while back said someone bought the ore at the port. You've got a 50/50 chance that this is what you are seeing. Not that it matters. Till old bobby clears things up (include the charges against him now too), nothing changes.
Where are the pictures and emails from Bob now? Haven't seen any posted in 11 days. Strange.
Like the PR that said there would be 300 mill in Q1 of 2011? That kooky conspiracy again! Poor Bob never did anything but help - HIMSELF.
