I just bought a block of ECU 2 months ago, on the premise that silver prices were about to make a big rise. I've read the posts about the frustration with ECU compared to its peer group. My brother was also interested in buying a block of shares, but is asking himself "why should I invest in ECU when all the other minors are basically moving up". "I my as well wait until ECU makes a breakout about 15 cents higher."

I don't have any intention of selling my ECU for a number of years, as I believe we are in a major secular bull run in all commodities. I would like to see Mgt. buy some shares of this company as maybe that could be a trigger for other investors to have faith. I haven't seen any purchases in the last 5 years. Just my 2 cent input, and was wondering if they have a conference call I can get access to.
