When I saw the report card, I anticipated a 2-3 point drop. While it doesn't mean it may not happen over the near term, the confererence call did contain several aspects that provide optimism for the future. Clearly VOCLF remains the leader in the embryonic IP field. I hold several of its competitors as well but in my view VOCLF is the David who may, just may, beat the Goliaths, i. e. Cisco, Lucent et al who are on the short lists as well. Found it interesting in the number of top brokers who asked questions: Bank America, Lehman Bros, Raymond James, H&Q, Piper Jaffrey and others. This showed, of course, the attention VOCLF has gotten. Concern, though, is that one or more might downgrade VOCLF to a hold but perhaps that's just my pessimistic nature. In any event, the VOCLF story hasn't been written yet. It will take patience.

Hi Charles! Like I said, I'm no good on technology but I think I think I'm pretty good at reading the tea leaves. If you recall in Shlomi Cohen's post to me he warned me ahead of time about insider trading, that was when voclf was close to 22. He said he thought the stock would get "pushed back" to 20. What a strange thing to say when the stock was almost 22. Was he trying to tell us something? Later questions were asked on SI about when the financial report would be published indicating that those who asked were shooting in the dark. The insiders Shlomi referred to knew in advance what the financial report would reveal and unloaded. Now they will nibble away and buy back in as the opportunity presents itself. Again, if you recall, when Shlomi warned about insider trading he said he thought the stock would get "pushed back" to 20. He said that when stock was almost 22. I think I got the message. Charles, I like to play on a level playing field. That's why I am not a trader. Kindest regards, Don
