gwr1, the last group of shorts that went short over the last 3 months were not "Thinking Shorts" ala a Doug Kass, they were emboldened "Predators" who bought completely and with arrogance the theory that ECU was being squeezed financially and therefore had to issue more stock. They looked only at that as the basis of their short. Most of them know very little if nothting about the potential resources. Now they have the one thing they bet on gone.......and, they have the price of the in ground resource going up against them. If they wait around much longer, wait til they find out with us, how much silver (and Gold) really is down there. i.e. if the grades get richer and the veins get wider as we go down the economics become superb. Hey, how do you like that Bid?
