Hi Rich , It seems you are a very shrewd day trader in PFG . You made approximately what $ 1,700 ? Not bad ! Anyhow I like the income " reducing agents " metaphor .. Hey what are " u " doing with a bimbo anyway ? Yes still bullish on ECM . They have a resource of at least 3 million ounces and trading at 30 cents . Mark K
