Oh well... I sold my remaining position at .16 but I fully intended to get it back after they announced they were expecting a crappy Q4 hidden in the 10-Q for Q3. I thought I could buy em back around .10 or even less and had no idea Johnson controls was considering merging them in.

Congrats to all holders for a nice gain. However, I think that ECNG had way greater potential than .22 but hey, too late now...
