I think that I would rather be buying 2.7 million shares than shorting 2.7 million shares at this time.
Given ECU's fundamentals, the stock's chart formation, the gurus saying that gold is going to explode, and that silver is going to rise faster relative to gold, then shorting 2.7 million shares is a very gutsy call.
But, what the heck do I know. My $0.02 towards the sale.
Cheers
