Soul, I agree that majority of new investors would like to see topics pertaining to ECU and earnings and strategy. I am a very sucessful on line poker player and have made a semi living questioning every hand I play, so I agree people are not going to change one's mind on this site. I have studied global economics and have come to the conclusion that silver is about to make a big rise-like the rest of you. Most here are much more educated than I when it comes to ECU and I really respect everyone's opinion on the company and the price of gold and silver. There are going to be many more potential investors here in the near future in my opinion, and I feel to simplify things for them, it would be nice for future investors to get everyone's opinion on the fundamentals of ECU and global economics pertaining to gold/silver. I know politics has a big influence obviously but historical politics may go a bit too far for future investors in my opinion. So I agree with you.

just a newbie here
