Here is the source of that excerpt for you. Although I have trouble following all the information and the sources and credibility of same, Mr.Story has a credible reputation going back many years. He would appear to be either incredibly courageous or guilty of being a dupe. I cannot pretend to know which. However, much of his material has sound factual reference and if he is sound, then we have much more to contemplate than we can probably absorb.

As for the naked shorting and all, I have exhausted myself going back years ranting about it all and have become disillusioned for many reasons, but not defeated. Many postings here have contributed much invaluable information for the understanding of the market machinations going on behind the scenes.

It is not ECU that any of us doubt as it rolls towards 2 billion potential ounces of silver equivalent, in-the-ground resource. I have long since taken the upside and the criminal suppression of the stock price as a given...much to the insane howls at the other board. That doesn't mean we should not continue our valid protestations. I'm sure all the longs here hold similar opinions and thanks to the intelligence and professional experience of many of them we have been treated to a continual, knowledgeable interpretations and updates of the resource potential of ECU, its managemant expertise, and the trading gyrations of the stock...amongst much other beneficial data. Few probably realize the value of that generous contribution to the ECU BB. If one were to seek counsel at a fee for service on such matters it would be beyond the affordability of most average investors for one thing....and finding such a credible source in one-stop-shopping, in my opinion, is an impossibility. So, we are all the beneficiaries of very valuable advice at zero cost.
