ECU is the only stock I have in the red today. Others average up 4%.
Someone (some "entity") is sitting on ECU while silver is up 2%. They are bound and determined to depress its share price via legal means or other. That's the bad news.
The good news is that these kinds of immoral, illegal, acts rarely for more than except for the short term. The crooks sitting on ECU have taken advantage of very poor performance in the pm sector and extremely depressed juniors. Gold is showing its strength, shrugging off more than 30 mil. ounces of US bank shorts. This is due to fundamentals overcoming (at least for now) the desperate acts of the owners of the game. Some the fundamentals will overcome all attempts to manipulate both physical pms and their share price.
The manipulation of gold and silver had escaped the moniker of “conspiracy” and is now recognized as a symptom of the corrupt US banking/political mafia. Globally we see nations and institutions shedding the heavy hand of the Us bankers and looking to protect themselves from the moral decay of us institutions and the US $. As the world regains control the pm markets shares of miners with good resources, management and production will explode. ECU will be included. ECU will most likely out preform the sector as it is starting from a depressed price.

Our time is coming!
