Pallisard, you are right that some companies can burst on the scene and grow at fantastic rates from almost nowhere(QCOM, RMBS are recent companies that due to a very strong IP, or even a strong "business model" could achieve that, QCOM "has arrived" while RMBS is still on the "threshold", and you can add to that some of the internuts like AMZN), but the key to such an achievement is that the IP or the business plan be supported by excellent capitalization.

When it is not, you end up with failures like Iridium recently, or TRKN last year, that attempted to go from $10 MM to $100 MM plus in sales without the proper financing and at the wrong time.

VLNC has the same potential and if they can manage to get a secondary for $50 MM or so in the mid teens, and the competition has not managed to establish a foothold, they'll do fine. Time will tell.
