With both gold and silver down today, and having been pounded severly for the last weeks, I am still very encouraged with the performance of ECU. Granted I would like it to just take off, bur realistically in our current environment it is performing better than many juniors or large caps for that matter.

Mostly i look at the recent performance as a good sign for when the metals find the bottom of this correction. The dc / new york mafia can only be effective for so long. When we start back up again I hope and believe we will start to see the kind of performance from ECU that encouraged us to buy the stock.

I have tighetned the grip on my ECU while selling a few shares of other stocks during Dec. Opinion seperates from comittment when you reach for your wallet!
