gwr...excuse me if I confuse today's house position on ECU for the Comex house positions on silver where two banks hold over 70% of the total short position. In ECU's case 17 of 22 houses ended the day with a positive net purchase value yet the share price closed down 1/2 cent. What is wrong with this picture?
