EFCR - has been on my watch list - not a buy at all - maybe a SHORT here, but I'm just watching it. Another guy SOROS on a thread is staking most of his money on this one performing I think - which is always risky. I believe he is sincere, and I hope it works for him, but this stock looks weak now. Take a look at the chart - was showing weakness to me definitely in the mid-August timeframe around 12-13 cents, after it ran to almost 22 cents. Then today - boom - we see it drop 20% down to 9 cents. And - I see news today - I'll post below. Again, I think somewhere people owning it were in the know, and selling/distributing their stock. News today: This company has investments in Ukraine - and I see this today: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial optimism that the move would defuse growing tension in Kiev was tempered by fears that Ukraine could face political paralysis. After announcing the cabinet's dismissal, Mr Yushchenko admitted his failure to reconcile the two rival camps in his administration. One faction, led by Mrs Timoshenko, has been at war with another, headed by his close ally, Petro Poroshenko, the head of the Security and Defence Council, for months. Mrs Timoshenko, who made her fortune in the energy sector, is nicknamed the "gas princess". Mr Poroshenko, a millionaire confectioner, is the "chocolate king". Mr Yushchenko said: "I have spent the last three nights thinking about how to keep together that which has already separated. The key issue was the issue of trust. If there had been a possibility to preserve team spirit, to remain together, it would have been the best answer." There was no response from Mrs Timoshenko, the other leading figure in street protests last winter, the Orange Revolution, that swept Mr Yushchenko to power. The president named an old ally and friend, Yury Yekhanurov, as acting prime minister. An economic reformer, Mr Yekhanurov is more positive to Moscow than his predecessor. The bickering, coupled with allegations of corrupt government, was beginning to damage the president's image and provoke disenchantment among ordinary Ukrainians. Tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Kiev last winter to demand new elections after a vote for a new president was marred by blatant fraud. The struggle for power was widely seen as a battle between pro-western forces led by Mr Yushchenko and Mrs Timoshenko and their enemies backed by the Kremlin in Moscow. telegraph.co.uk
