The #1 responsibility of any company management is to handle the affairs of the company. That does not include trying to stickhandle the mkt. price of stock. If the company makes good or bad business decisions it will eventually be reflected in the price of the stock.

IMHO ARU must 1st study the new Ecuador mining regs. & then decide how they wish to go forward (develop FDN on their own, do a JV with a major or sell out). The current price may influence their decision but they should not focus on managing that price. The price will take care of itself based on their decisions.
