I'm not convinced this person Applepieuk is my old friend Latisha and am inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. I can say for sure Latisha has numerous aliases on Chithouse and does talk to himself, ask questions and even answer questions on other boards and even on the ECU board on a rare occassion in the past. Latisha is indeed a multiple personality person and would go to any length to make money trading with no conscience whatsoever.

I do however draw the line at any personal name calling directed at any legitimate poster on this site. People can agree to disagree but do so while exercsing common courtesy unlike how things have to done at Chithouse.

For anyone here concerend about whether ECU is doing an equity financing, let me say there is zero truth to this latest rumour being created and spread by those miscreants on Chithouse, Latisha, Clubfool, EZ, Rats or dividendguy. It's very simply not true and the company made this clear weeks ago in a press release about the 2008 objectives and committments.

I would also like to dispel any concern about the present loan with IIG Capital, it is easily renewable and could even be expanded if such an event would be required or should arise. There is no doomsday or countdown scenario as suggested by Latsiha or Clubfool. The relationship between ECU and IIG is outstanding and long standing in nature. I know some on Chithouse have tried to use this also as a wedge of some kind like the financing rumour but it's all a figment of some deluded persons imagination. I encourage people to call the company if you need any extra assurance.

I also hear exploration is going very well and would really like to see some more progress reports on the new Teneras discovery, Mineralized Corridor, San Mateo, Chicago and San Diego, etc. I also hear the mill production process is going well and would really like to see an update from the company as shareholders are due for an update.

This is a very tough market for PMJ's but there is light at the end of the tunnel and look for an upturn in the coming days as the HUI bottoms in the next day or so and the next 100 points will be higher with the juniors participating this time, this is my view for what it's worth. Lot's of bargains out there and certainly ECU is as cheap as it gets versus it's peers and given the large resource outlined to date and the billion ounce potential. I would rather own those who are building the big resource like ECU as per world class reports from Micon, TD Bank, etc. than those looking for the big one or who have less than 100 million silver ounces inferred. Markets are a mystery sometimes and no one said it would be easy and it's not.
