Great response again. Re: currency risk, that's the least of VTCH's problems. As some of you may or may not know, I write for Microsoft Investor and maintain a financial website. Evidently, the editor of an industry trade journal, of which I had not heard, thought this makes me an expert. He emailed me asking me to contribute my analysis for an article they were investigating re: Vitech's dubious business practices. Specifically, they are interested to know why what Vitech is reporting in America is so different from the business that's actually being done in Bahia. Since I am not that type of expert, I could not help him. I am not flaming this stock or trying to blow it down with hype - I have no position. And I doubt there is anything going on behind closed doors - the funny business is detailed in every SEC report - sales to a company owned partly by one of the brothers, generous deals for dad, out of proportion AR & inv growth, and lethal cash flows. Just honestly passing along info. If anyone wants, I could forward the original e-mail to you. In any case, none of this means it won't go to 50 and find creative financing to help it along every step of the way.
