I.N., Eddy, et.al.: I'm with you, I.N., with regard to what to expect out of this call. Management has stated they will NOT be releasing any contract announcements without OEM client blessing. And I've the feeling, based strictly on their recent SEC filing(heh), that you won't be disappointed if'n you're not expecting such a thing. I meself AM looking forward to that earnings statement, since IF they've been doing what we think then it will have to be reflect therein, eh? Be that as it may...well...management wishing to follow an OEM customers lead doesn't preclude them from making a Hanil type statement of plant readiness. I do not see this as violating even the spirit of such an agreement. Indeed, since Hanil got there first with such an announcement(probably having learned from N.I.'s negative experiences), it's now reasonable to assume the N.I. facility ain't far behind, so it'd be nice to at least see something like that out of them. Still, this is an assumption. We need management to get off their hands and "make it so". And since VLNC's stock did a weee surge on Hanil's news one could presume the market is telegraphing its continued interest in VLNC, but needs a Hanil type pronouncement before it moves from the sidelines. In my book this is as it should be. So come on Lev....let's get off the 'ol hands and follow Hanil's lead. ;-) Eddy: LOL! Jeez, that was quite a "ramble". Heh! No offense, of course. So now TA has ascended the heights of neural network analysis? At least, potentially? Just add it as one more color to the 'ol artistic palate. Why? Because to my way of thinking TA, however elaborate and advanced, is more art than science(even though it relys on such as statistics, etc.). After all, you're trying to predict the behavior of the human herd when its playing the market, or any equity of interest. And trying to predict the human herd is tantamount to trying to predict the weather. ;-) Besides, it's gotta be an Art, because if the mechanics of TA sufficed, then me thinks there'd be a few more rich people than there are out there in the 'ol game, eh? Still, I will allow that IF you've got a way of conclusively seeing all short trades on a real time basis, then there'd be some value in banging that number against any possible increase in negative thread sentiment. Even so, however, this doesn't necessarily imply collusion. But your site is interesting.... As for VLNC....as always I remain interested in the only thing which matters at this point. Hanil's done it. We now need the same out of Northern Ireland. John~
