First of all, thanks for all the updates and quality reports on ECU to GWR and others here. If ECU isn't "well positioned", then nothing else is.

Re OT: Pic, you really nailed it when you said "rules of the game" may be changing. That's the essence of it all going forward. I can't ever recall so many dynamics at play resonating out of tune through all the global markets, politics, religions and, well, Tribes. The air is absolutely pregnant with expectation. What will unfold?

Well, the way I see it is that this complex game of world chess has just moved to the next level. The United States and Britain have been checkmated. With the potential for so many powerful eastern or soveriegn entities to put a squeeze on the $US and default the PM markets, we are one move away from a whole new game. The behind-the-scenes maneuvers/negotiations/posturing going on this instant must be something to behold.

The prognostications are many. The possibilities are endless. The outcome is ?

Sure looks like we're going to see some positive swings in the PMs soon.
