Understand the risks of investing in ECPL. I was one of the original investors in the company via a bridge loan in 1994. This is well before they did their backdoor IPO (i.e., merged into a public empty shell with no assets). While their growth has been impressive, much of it has been achieved through acquisitions with their "paper". I recommend people really study the S-3 they filed way back when. They are still dealing with comments from the SEC. There are a lot more shares outstanding then people realize. Take a look at the earn-out due to the original investors (there is some pretty heavy dilution coming your way) It took the company a while to sell my shares privately... this is when the company was trading at $4.50... the price... $2.65. I get nervous when there is a 50% discount between the private and public price. Next time you talk to the company, try to get a sense of how many shares are currently floating vs. the total number of shares outstanding (including the earn-out.). I'm not saying that this won't turn out to be a great investment. I am saying investigate all of the details before you leap. Happy investing. - Brian
