"has been referred to here before by those trying to bash the ECU story."
I hope you are not referring to me. I put a link to an article of this guy some time ago, because he was writing about ECU and I hadn't heard of him before. That was not a case of trying to bash the ECU story, because I am a long term holder of ECU shares and I know the fundamentals of ECU. By the way, I think there is no problem discussing such "made up" stories, because they are circulating in the market place in any case and it may help less informed people reading this board to understand where they come from.
Openness and discussion always pays off IMO.
