Exactly gwr. I can't agree more. Any astute investor would come to the same conclusion that it's not just ECU that is in a "tailspin" but this evidently permeates throughout the entire junior mining sector.

Without sounding derogatory, investors should do their own DD before coming up with statments like; "Ever since Stephan Altmen became president of ECU on January 8, 2007, the stock price of ECU has been in a tailspin. This is despite the company making many acheivemnts during this time. I am not in a position to judge Mr. Altmans job performance, but the coorelation of his employmnet with the stock price slide is worring." The SP languishing of late (approximately 2 years running) has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of performance on the president's behalf. I think he has done an exceptional job in promoting the company and the future couldn't be looking any brighter without his presence.

I'm sure everyone is experiencing some level of pain and frustration with the lack of performance associated with JPMs. Feeling disappointed with one's investment is just what the detractors are galvanizing, so longs are coerced by their emotions to exit a position prematurely.

Unless of course argoz, is just plain ol' bashing....and if that's the case BUZZ OFF!!!!!! Your not fooling anyone on this BB.

Make sure your brain is engaged before putting your keyboard into gear!!!

Long ECU....GLTA,
