I do not see anything wrong with ECU that would necesitate me to criticize the company or the management.
I own a gold stock which I favour above ECU ( I may have mentioned it before here). The paralelism between the comments about both companies is astonishing to me.
That company is about to build a mine in Venezuela ( that is a potential problem in itself ) but the management in my opinion is also great.
BUT comments about management investing in the company, buying back shares etc. to raise the share price, abound. That is even though that management has a large part of the outstanding shares.

Too often in these kinds of times we look for causes and blame, not accepting that markets do fluctuate quite often and at times extremely. Current ECU situation has nothing to do with the company. There is a lack of interest with most good companies. So I do not accept comments that imply that the management should do something or is not doing something that it should.

In these times on boards like this one, investors go to extreme measures ( Bashers and pumpers ) to get their point across hoping that they can impose some reason on other investors and influence the share price in their favour (as if boards had that ability).
Many of us here saw a perfect example of bashing on the Sh board.
Now that many of the so called 'Pumpers' from that board are here I tend to try and balance that by trying to impose some practical pragmatism on the comments, for we have no bashers to my knowledge to maintain balance.
I have no problem with pumping a deserved stock, but show me the meat in your comments, please.
My apologies if that irritates anyone, Ed G.
