Wow! Talk about deadsville.

My juniors are like race horses, all except ECU. Reminds me of Beetlebomb, a dead-last horse, from an old Spike Jones song.

Like pic, I've done exceptionally well with ECU over the past many years. However, I must admit I've lightened up quite a bit over the past several months. It's become maddening. I'm really too old and frustrated to be hanging around waiting for things to change, especially in the face of these rocketing PM prices. It's a young man's game, imo, not an old timer like me. I've rebalanced my group of juniors umpteen times and fortunately most are now really running ahead pretty hard.

I gave up some time ago trying to figure it out and came to the conclusion that there are things surrounding ECU I just don't know, and, as our former defense secretary loves to say, "there are things we don't know that we don't know." That about sums it up for me with ECU and a few others. So why bother.

Though some juniors continue to have good "stories" like ECU, the reality is that they remain prisoners of the manipulators and their algos or whatever, too weak to break the chains that bind them, from another old song.

When ECU and others break away and lift off, it'll be time to increase my remaining position. I hope I'm still around by then. Less shares for the money, but more chance for success. Maybe.

And I hope it's sooner than later.
