Yes, Kris, stop buying. The dumpers will stop dumping into an empty pit. Yes, temporarily the price will come down, but the dumpers will only sell so low. They will take you to that low point regardless whether you buy or not. If you don't buy, they stop selling quickly. They are blood suckers. If you refuse them your blood, they go elsewhere. They know well ahead of closing a PP how many shares they can count on being bought here. We have left very clear tracks for them from other PPs. They know they can count on up-beat and rah-rah dip buyers just from this board alone. Once the spigot gets shut off, however, their game plan ends.

Let no one guess my courage in life. Maybe it's courage or my stupidity that allowed me to follow ecu down to pennies, go through dip buying all the way down to 1.90 where I stopped buying, and have been waiting for a bottom before buying again. In life I have never dogged a challenge, never run from battle, and never let fear prevent me from moving forward. I have also paid for my errors and/or mistakes through life with no regrets. I do not whine.

gwr suggested I call Altmann, talk to him about my concerns. gwr said Altmann wouldn't bite. The problem with that is I have tried to communicate with his office (our office) and to no avail. No return calls, no return emails, no questions answered. Others have expressed the same lack of communication with their efforts. It wasn't long ago that Mr. Roy communicated well with shareholders, but his time is better spent on site. Mr. Roy had ecu's name in front of every investor in Canada. He met with analysts, met with journalists, shareholders, advisors, banks, and he headed up operations in Mexico. Don't know when the man slept. And it was clear he was passionate about ecu, and the shareholders rewarded his dedication. One out of ten posts praised Roy for his knowledge and dedication, and rightfully so. He is sorely missed by at least me.
