Hi Reg!

I was one of those people sitting on the bid today and got filled at $2.02 for just a small batch of shares near the close.  I am reluctant to chase ECU because I already have a large chunk of my PF in this one, but I figured it was worth grabbing a few more shares on the cheap with silver threatening to break above the $20 level for the first time in nearly 30 years.  I think $20 silver will be like gold breaching the $300 barrier back in 2003.  It will create an event of sudden awareness that this is in fact a bull market, and debunk the concept that there is abundant silver sitting around ready to flood the market.

ECU is still getting unstuck from the mud of an 18-month correction, but the most important thing to remember is that ECU has added more ounces of silver to the total resource than just about any other junior mining stock anywhere else in the world.  Sooner or later that is going to matter again.

cheers!
