Keep in mind that VCST is about to release what could be a blockbuster product (the $99 card which allows users to create streaming video and upload it to the Web). That's what you have to look at here- book value and past income, earnings, and ratios are irrelevant unless the new product is a flop in which case all is lost. To me the questions are:
¾ Can they generate enough excitement to have a significant product launch?
¾ Can they get the product out the door in time for holiday sales ? &
¾ Will they have the right amount of product to meet demand?

I'd also wait-and-see here. Momentum is down, but if it starts to go up, it could give quite a ride.

Jan re:VCST DD...

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your response.

The red flag you mentioned is not red to me, at least yet, as, at least for Norem. He was selling shares since the beginning of the year, and as of the end of May, he still had 700K shares.

Just curious why that is a red flag to you?

Thanx, and just my opinion.

Jon :)
