Default Hidden Agenda?

Register to stop seeing this ad!

Read an article on India's Labor problems that is effecting the production of much of the country's industry. Article in Wall Street Journal entitled "Deadly Labor Wars Hinder India's Rise" 11/20/09.

Seems that much of the Indian automakers are striking for higher wages and less strigent regulation by Union Organizers. There has been a series of violent acts that have resulted in several deaths.

Could this be the reason for the late delivery of the Mahindra RT20/RT40? Are parts going to be available if you purchase this vehicle?

What are your thoughts!

I posted a pole to follow up on this reader's observation and after 1 vote the pole was closed. Seems a little strange!

What are you talking about? Your poll is still open. You do have it set to close on the 30th of this month though.

I am sorry I tried to inject a little intelligence into this blog by presenting some facts after reading "all" the literature and publications to be better informed about investing wisely.
Your response may represent the select few but I am sure not the majority. Why not try interjecting a reason for your feelings instead of making a foolish statement about something you obviously have no knowledge on.

I think Andy was poking fun at the unbridled enthusiasm of those of us that really want this truck to succeed and have been waiting patiently; some of us for more than a year.

ie. How many of us have said that we would live with a crappy interior just to get a compact, long bed 30 mpg diesel.

Thats right Joe!

Dan, the statement I made was in fun. I'm glad that you are taking the time to get all the facts. Please continue

Thanks Andy, I will continue to report and anything I read that becomes pertinent, I will pass along. I too am excited about the little diesel p-u and hope it succeeds.
