So now everyone changes there mind at the last moment and the ECU statement is ok. I'm sorry someone is playing to many games. First the headline of the ECU statement is that the dissemination from ECU is not for the U.S. or any of there instititions. So that means American shareholders mean nothing? And by all indications this was written up by a New York bank .Why are we constantly told of these things after they happened? And how does someone like Frank the Tank have this information a week or two earlier? And now some of you who say wow that was the straw that broke the camels back, buy more ECU. Come on! I have never been on any other board than this,nor have I ever checked out these other forums that obviously have more information than we do. Why would ECU not allow any news press release in the U.S? It seems that only the chosen few are allowed these answers. My family and I as well others who bought into ECU are nothing I guess. OH thats right! I believed in this company at 2.31 a share and I can't get one straight answer. My family and friends have just as much invested than a lot of others here. You actually want me to believe that ECU would not let any U.S. shareholders know anything except some bank out of New York and a chosen ammount of short sellers? I just asked questions yesterday just to see what would be answered . NOTHING! ECU adds more to the pie and we don't even know outright what there intentions are? So what now I wait till they explore some other mine for 3 years as the stock lies dormat. What do some people think we don't deserve a true report on ECU's financial status? Why the mill is operational and should be making a profit while Gold and silver continue to rise since I bought into this company? And don't anyone call me a basher either. These are remarks that should be outright in the public and shareholders view. Two months ago they were trying to put out press releases on a Saturday to give more money to there own employeees. Meanwhile I still wait patiently [not anymore] to see the outcome of ECU. What else does this company need to see a rise in shareprice. Because since I have been here it was 43/101 reports, mill upgrade, problems with another company, when does it end. Almost every person on this board has said [look at the archives] that ECU would be up on all these results. Plus the ammount of cost to mill the minerals was well below market price. I just feel i'm being stabbed over and over again. And when I hear other members ripping about all this new information without total disclosure BUYING more shares doesn't ring good in my ears. This is outright manipulation. For once I would like a honest answer without well one time at band camp. I don't care I want to see the proof. Yes and thank God at least Gold and Silver is still going up. By my calculations since I bought in[ECU] you would think they both went down quite a bit.
