Quite discouraging as a shareholder to read that the share price apparently has nothing to do with the company's reserves, profits etc. but is determined by the "price managers" and their willingness to "sustain some type of decent rally." What a world!

Also confusing to read that they would allow a rally on one hand and then attempt to cover shorts as a result. We here are counting on ECU's efforts in the production and exploration areas to encourage honest interest in the company and the stock. Who are the "price managers" and how can we attempt to curtail their acitivities? Shouldn't price management be illegal in the context of a stock market?

All quite discouraging and disheartening.
