Fan;

"We waited patiently for the scope study to come out so ECU can leap forward in progress to becoming a major miner. We waited, and waited while the share price corrected."

I suggest to U that the scoping study cannot result in a leap forward in progress without adequate funding which ECU does not currently have. (the merger may solve that)...

That U deluded yourself is your own problem.

I am thinking only of accumulating and holding the largest number of gold and silver ounces that I can get my hands on for the smallest amount of cash outlay to take leveraged advantage of future demand in PMs into 2014-2015; ie. VALUE.

We clearly have different objectives. I suggest that U are holding the wrong stock if U are having trouble sleeping with volatility. In future U should not take such a large stake in shares that do not meet your set objectives. Perhaps a gold ETF would be better for U.

ECU and Newco meet my objectives into 2014 just fine.
