Good article Hobbers. But are they serious. Shortselling has crushed so many stocks its not funny. But I believe it will backfire on them. Those that have choosed to walk away from ECU will find out it was a mistake. I can't remember who a few days ago wrote about the Chinese and others want the Gold standard back. Although I am not near as good at understanding charts, I do understand math. I am going by anothers advice, when America went of the gold standard it changed money for paper. by my recollection 3 years ago, if we hadn't gone of the gold standard, 1 ounce of gold would be worth 47,000.00 American dollars. This was a few years ago. Not sure I am able to count in trilloins of the top of my head. But I am sure the ratio is much higher. I am surprised ECU was still in the .66 range .But the future looks good. I was also glad to hear about this shrehlders vote. I am eager to hear from anyone who has a opinion about this soon event. I am pleased to be part of this forum and enjoy the opinions of all of you. I still think !.00 before the end of the week.
