We are a bit off topic here but there is certainly a lot of logic to tying these companies together. Anyone invested in ECU should certainly have a look at GOG if you haven't already done so. The present market cap is $7.2 million based on an 18 cent share price. I don't have the reserve values available but it seems like a nobrainer to me that this stock has to be worth much more than 18 cents. Given ECU's established facility 9 kms. away and its intimate knowledge of the San Diego resource I would imagine there have already been a few dsicussions between the company managements about a stock swap. ECU's stock seems to react more positively to result announcements than does GOG's so maybe ECU sees little incentive to make a move at these prices. I am holding both and do expect to do very well with both in the long run.
