I still breathe a tiny lttle of hope sinbob. When I bought ECU a little over a year ago, it was at 2.40 a share. Since then ECU has had many graet finds and proven them. My problem is silver at the moment might be a little lower since I bought in last year, but we have quite of lot of goods now. Add in GOG that helped with there financial sheets and we should be well over 2.60 a share. I realize that ecu has only put there time into exploration and the tonnage they do pull out is minimul at best, but to be at this point is amazing. Just listening to the Capitalist or are they Socailist CNBC, they made a statement that Barrick Gold and forgive me don't remember the other producer, had settled in there price at 200.00 gold. HOW? ECU is all I have and I can't see us surviving a price of 200.00 spot gold. I don't really believe it, but can anyone really see any real answers to the future of our stock. I can't get out now, and don't really want to anyways. But I must say all the ins and outs can make a person crazy. Anyone have a worst case senario or please tell me hold on the boats in the harbor. Can't buy physical and can't sell minerals. And what if any is a buyout solution for ecu if this continues? Just looking for some insight.
