I just wanted to point out an interesting observation:

When ECU is getting trashed, or the metals are selling off, there are far more daily posts on this board. Why is that?

Today silver is up huge, and ECU is sitting comfortably above the downtrend line all week with a couple of pennies gain on the day so far... and no one seems at all interested.

Is this forum just a bunch of traumatized investors that are all suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome and we have now fully sympathized with the crooks and scumbags that have been stealing our lunch money? I never saw much value in pointing fingers and venting on a stock forum so I really do not have much to talk about on the down days. I do think we are now on the cusp of something special for ECU and the sector in general, and perhaps after the angst of the last few years has worn off there will be more constructive posts appearing here again.

cheers!
