Since Bill Murphy's largest holding is ECU, mentioned many times in his MIDAS reports, there is a great potential for the Cartel to try and discredit Bill anyway possible.

 How often have we all watched gold, silver and PM stocks rise, yet ECU declines?  Sure, we get a big run up in ECU and we're all happy, then get frustrated for several weeks as it simply grinds lower and lower, even on great days for the metals.

 I simply find this behavior downright abnormal.

 My point:

 I have no problem believing that ECU is a target for trying to discredit Bill Murphy.  So the next time every other PM stock is rising, ponder why ECU is declining.  And especially after a good ECU news release.
