Maybe you should expand your research beyond press releases. Maybe you might want to look at WHY they wanted to do it and why the stockholders approved it? Apparently bill's "in-depth research techniques" have rubbed off on his short minions. Not to single you out Druss, but c'mon people, do some freaking research.

Druss, that information about the increase in potential shares is fairly old news. I'm no expert, but it is fairly commonplace for companies to increase the total amount of shares the they could issue. This is not to say that the additional 50,000,000 shares will be issued, just that they could. You might want to read some of the recent posts on the VLNC thread on SI to get a more balanced reading of the company's prospect. Eli74 P.S. In case you're wondering, I own the stock, and have for over 2 years. My own personal opinion is that them that short this stock will have their heads handed to them.

re. VLNC, I've noticed that ENER, another battery research company, has a stock that has soared like VLNC. I'm just starting to look into these companies. The main similarities I see are that both are battery research and both have soaring stock prices. The difference is that ENER has about 1/3 the market cap of VLNC. It looks like ENER is about 1/2 as big, in terms of R&D spending. Does anybody know why battery research stocks are soaring right now? VLNC was a hot stock in 1992 ... promises of going into production were unfullfilled and the stock plummeted ... now it says it will go into production again, and the stock's hot again, along with ENER, which makes an entirely different kind of battery. Why? Are there more, besides just VLNC and ENER?
