VSH is a great company on its own, but it is clearly bolstered from SILI. SILI management are aligned with VSH and not SILI. There options are in VSH. No publicity, no news releases, etc. for SILI.

Mozek, I went back to read your posts. I was totally in the dark about the way earnings were reported and thought I understood it when I invested in VSH several months ago. Now I understand why all the posts that confused me in the past. It would appear then that Wall Street believes VSH is going to take advantage of those holding the 20% of the freely circulating shares of SILI. That would seem criminal. Well, I bought VSH to get SILI shares on the cheap a few months ago. It was really SILI that I wanted to buy, but the stock price was inching its way into the stratosphere in $20 and $30 increments at a pop. I for one would hate to see individual SILI shareholders injured if VSH purchases the remaining 20%. They should be required to attach some kind of premium for individual SILI shareholders given that SILI appears to be the growth engine for VSH. Ausdauer
