JNYCAT, if you have read the article below before, read it again. I read it several times and discovered new insights each time. I sincerely think ECU is targeted, because they own what the manipulators want to own. This could be a long sit, full of frustration, but after all, by owning ECU shares, you own what is stored there in the earth at those properties. Be it 1000 mln ounces of silver or maybe double that size, it will rise in value, while you wait and get frustrated. What the "market" valuation of the company is right now, is totally irrelevant. The value is increasing on a continuous basis, while all tricks available are played on us shareholders.
