Hi Scruffy!

ECU is not my favourite stock. I own it and my sentiment has become more bullish towards this company in recent months. I expect big things for the company and I think there is some magic number in terms of silver spot price that will eventually get the market very excited about it. But its not my favourite stock right now.

I own about 80 companies in 4 different accounts. Some are traders for a few hours or a few days. Some are long term retirement holdings that have risen by several hundred percent since I bought them. Some are spec gambles that may blow up and go sour. I like to buy the hell out of juniors when they are out of favour but present strong fundamentals. Earlier this year the silver juniors fit this description. Now the NG juniors are looking good to me.

Cheers!
