I'm reminded that there are some heavy hitters out there each holding millions of shares of those 300 million plus shares of ECU stock. I imagine many are as PO'd as we are, though my guess is that they are a lot more tuned in to what's been going on with ECU than we are.

Certainly they must have offered suggestions galore to ECU management regarding all sorts of things and no doubt management has payed attention and has/is considering many good ideas. As far as I'm concerned, if the deep pockets are still holding, which I assume they are, so am I.

In that regard, if I read a July 2010 report in one of ECU's Sedar filings correctly, Galtere Ltd. upped their holdings in ECU, possibly for themselves and/or clients, to 30 million plus shares. That's about 10 percent, so I guess they had to go on record. That looks to me like a big time plus for us.

So, it looks like we're not the only ones waiting and wondering, though I believe we're in some really good company.
