Hi guys, I've been gone for a few days I'm sure I was missed <VBG>.

I see Hanil has announced the official start of production for the 3rd or 4th time now. And I see that VLNC did another financing at low prices again.

They have now raised a total of $14 million via their dribble financing at an average price of $5, issuing about 2.8 million new shares. The remaining $11 million would have to be sold at $14.20 in order to result in no additional dilution than if the deep pockets backing VLNC had simply ponied up $25 million at $7. And remember, the VLNC bulls claimed that VLNC did not want to raise $25 million at such a low price as $7.

Also, given the price action before the latest financing, it seems clear that the purchaser was pre-selling these shares. Again, not exactly a vote of confidence in VLNC on the part of Daddy Warbucks.
