RE: Stock going down.....Hey don't be so rude. Apparently you are the clueless one because why are you putting all the weight on Ecuador at the moment! Plexmar made its great initial jump because of Bolsa del Diablo (its main play and focus right now) and thats where the main story is and is the reason why most of us that have been here from the start (unlike yourself) are waiting and holding on.
PLE isn't just a side play to ARU, thats why I made that comment. Bolsa del Diablo has been a work in progress for almost a couple years now and the Ecuador property (Escondida) has always been just the icing on the cake.
Too many newbies like yourself here concentrating only on Escondida and have no idea what they are talking about and think PLE is ONLY a side play to ARU, and everything that happens in Ecuador will be the answer to its success or failure. Wrong!
