VHF, thank you for your posts. I look forward to them every day.

I don't post often, but today I can't restrain myself. If ECU only dropped 10% in the last 7 months, I would be a much happier camper. However, even with superior drill reports, a cash flow starting up, silver prices up, and the real possibility of 1 billion ozs., ECU turns south. There is no interest, no volume, no small/large shareholder buying.

The reasons for this apathy must be plentiful, and I must be blind, because I don't see them. I understand what Sinclair et al. have said, I understand the banks lack cash, I understand vulchers. What I don't understand is the abundance of roadside kill going on here.

I'm not interested at this point in what the "charts" have to say, nor the palm readers, nor the astrologers, nor the the "light" at the end of the tunnel. The crystal ball readers can also join the execution line. I've read all this over and over again.

What do you think it will take to bottom out and get some well-deserved buying in ECU? Is there a key to open the door? Does ECU need a JV or buyout and nothing else will provide shareholder interest?

Using other juniors as a comparison is most unfair to ECU due to ECU's fundamentals. It's like comparing apples and oranges. ECU should not be considered part of the crowd, therefore, not compared to it.

As of now, ECU could find a 500-ton nugget and still drop 2 cents.

Again, thank you for your presence and input on this board.
