I have tried twice now to get answers from ECU about what is happening with the company. Although Steve Altman had always answered questions in thw past, whoever is in charge of marketing info refuses to answer back. This scares me. At this point I have a 75% loss in ECU, but I am staying in with the last of the money I have. I guess I still don't understand our position since when I bought in ECU has claimed these great finds gold and silver has risen since then, and I'm looking at these losses with less hair. I realize this is years end but you would think ECU would have more consideration for there stockholders when asked about what is happening on there side. To add some to the comments made this morning we all have a lot to worry about. Don't think Russia has taken anything lightly. Even now they continue to bring warships closer to our shores. The american government is setting itself up for possible martial law with the purpose that americans will finally realize they are being taken to the new wall street . THe US government. Meanwhile asian countries are lying in wait with probably the only real capitol left in this world. Then we have cnbc do they actually think they know what there talking about. pleaseeee! I wont be surprised if there not all in government uniforms soon. But hopefully we who have continued to hold on to what ever amount of sanity we have will get our just reward. I want to thank all who have contibuted to this forum . You have done a great job trying to figure out what is happening around us and it is greatly appreciated. Although I might lose all my nest egg its not because everyone here but the crooks who actually have presents from us under there trees. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope the next time I can say wow we made it.
