Gold and Silver are up nicely.

The HUI can't get very far above the 500 area...so no excitement of the mining shares.

The Canadian dollar can't get past 97.00 in any real way...so I have to figure the US and the Canadian government have an agreement to keep the exchange rate in a tight range...

I'm guessing the QE2 is in response to failed US treasury auctions....there was one today and the dollar fell....this might be a regular occurrence going forward.

Nice to see Agoracom put the GOG post back up.

My position is: I own both GOG and ECU..and have added as the prices have fallen.

The fact that ECU used proceeds from the GOG payments to pay bills in 08 may mean that ECU was closer to going out of business then we realize. Or at least huge dilution was on the horizon.

The company has come a long way since then. The next financial report will be very positive as will the improvements that Argoz posted last week.
