Hello Ankheroo,

As I posted earlier, I think China will be buying up all the natural resources of South America that they can....this isn't the first time that they will have "snuck"in to buy shares of a mining company cheaply after the price was brought down on news articles...My experience with this tactic was with CUP in Peru!...the Chinese started buying strong when the price had dropped on news, and then shortly afterwards they put in their low bid for the company through the state owned aluminum company...

I wouldn't put it pass the Chinese to have maybe started this article or "Rumor"just to drive the share price down for this tactic....

Correa was just in China ( and loves socialism and his "Fellow Comrades") who know what transpired behind those closed doors!

Alonso Soto could be working for China or even Ecuador in this arena! Doesn't always have to be an "evil major" pulling the strings of this puppet!

  Just my conspiracy thoughts this morning,

 Long for Cash

Hey Captain, do we have any "dry powder" in the hold? I used up my last reserve at $8.05, but I sure would love to buy more at these levels!!
