Great Panther and Endeavour are proof that the stock prices are double when the naked shorts are removed. In ECU's case we probably have so many naked shorts we would triple or more. Regarding political risk in Mexico, I think you were concerned with the drug violence. I read that the good old U.S. ATF has been selling guns to the drug cartels including AK47's and 50 mm rifles with the approval of the justice department. My dad was an FBI agent for 33 years and can not believe the stuff that attorney general Eric Holder has been doing and saying. Maybe next the U.S. can sell Bin Laden some high explosives or dirty bombs.
