>based on value line recommendation, i have been buying call options on this stock since early in the year. i notice it is at 96 times earnings, but has a great growth record. can someone please explain their products to me as a non technical person and why this is a great investment.<

well, this must definitely be your virgin post to the board cuz you clearly asked the right guy. read: flodyie! <vbg>

i gather that you're considering VTSS as a long-term investment? i hope you asked in that light, cuz frankly, it truly baffles me that many investors know as much about their stocks as they do about their neighbors (i.e., nothing).

it sounds obvious, but for starters, i'd try the website for a corporate profile and products (i'm serious):

vitesse.com
vitesse.com

and moneycentral is nice for financials:

moneycentral.msn.com
moneycentral.msn.com

otherwise, feel free to take off your prom dress, stick around some and get acquainted. lots of very, very knowledgeable folk on this board. i'm sure you'll learn something; i certainly have.

Due to the recent fluctuation in price on VTSS, I have had some good luck in writing cov calls, and then buying them back at a much cheaper price. I have been long since 3/96 and still have my core in tact.
