Paul, Cathi, Ticker et al... SORRY! Didin't mean to alarm anyone! By the # of e-mail's I got, I guess I better "qualify" my last post: I do not feel that if production start-up doesn't go well, then all hell will break loose. It would be a serious set back and if this isn't obvious to you then it should be. How many of you will hang out in VLNC if you hear that production is post poned? Isn't that the main thread of this thread these days? I can only imagine the posts (including mine) that will follow such a bad announcement. But let's keep things positive and follow through on the beleif that every thing is cool. Please help me with why knowing if and when a production line works is considered "insider information?" The WORLD knows that VLNC has been staging for this moment and I seriously doubt contractors are signing non-disclosures at the NI site saying they won't tell anyone if it is OK or not. NOW, if I were to post that I knew they had a contract that they had not announced yet, well, then I belong in the penetentiary. Please understand that my company provides a very small part of the overall systems involved. There are a great deal more vendors and people involved with the project that know a lot more than me. Also, there are LURKERS on this thread who know A LOT more than me and I judge this easily by the e-mail info I have recieved (keep'm coming and thanks). When I am posting I assume that most of you have read and folowed this thread for more than a month or two and therefore, know what I have said in the past. If I had to defend myself in court I would simply re-read my posts that clearly point out that I am in no way "hyping" VLNC. I, like most SI posters, write with our hearts and more importantly, whre we "hope" our stock pix go. It's human nature. I am invested in VLNC but it is only 15% of my holdings (soon to be a bigger % as soon as she rockets up!!!). OK, that was cheap hype...but can you blame me? Finally, if there are any knowledgable legal types who think what I am posting about production line status is "insider info" please let me know. My wife and kids have implied they want me around the house, not in jail. Anyway, thanks for your feedback and I hope this clears some things up. HC
