Hello,

Had some money to invest last week in high-risk small cap stocks. Picked VARL (almost picked WAVE, either one looks like it would have been good so far). In at 12 1/4.

Pretty new to the company, but did plenty of research before climbing on board. Unfortunately, missed a few points with the research (man, has it been moving quickly), but such is life. Better safe.

Looking forward to the 20s,

Pi

The better question is "who's buying" and whether we are finally seeing institutional interest. Recognize that earnings are just around the corner, so anticipation is high. I suspect that we're seeing some long-term VARL holders selling out now that they've made it back to break-even. By the way, you didn't call me Dogman?

*I wonder who's selling.*

There do not have to be "real" sellers . . . the market makers may be forced to sell to buyers even if supply dries up. I think that this may be occurring. Do not forget that it is times like these when the market makers see the double-edged sward of their vocation . . . they MUST fill orders if a market order is placed.

Also at ~$17 this stock becomes a small cap, available for purchase by a wider array of money managers . . . good for us.
