Bill, a long time holder of ECU, did a little promoting yesterday evening in the lemetropolecafe.com. Maybe he helped attract some new $'s. Specifically:

"As veteran Café members know, my largest share position is in ECU Silver, which I have owned since 1999, and have even visited their mine way back when. Never have I seen a stock trade in such a bizarre fashion … going sideways, trading up and down a penny or two a day, and on decent volume … following good news after good news. Someone has to be massively short. May they be blown to smithereens one day soon…"
