Hi Don, Does this mean that yesterday, when the stock market was up and every Israeli stock was making a come back except VOCLF, that you were then bearish on the stock? GUYS!!! Forget about playing this stock short term! It's a play for only the long term and unapologetically so! Do not try and analyze VOCLF on a daily basis. The fact that it was up today may be nothing more than a pause in the slide... (hopefully not) but it doesn't give me any kind of relief or show me any kind of direction that it will be taking. So lets do what the company is now doing and just look toward the future. At some point in the not too distant future the world will pick up on VoIP and they will look towards the major players and find VOCLF in a prime position. Only then will we all be happy. I don't want a takeover now. I'd get ripped off! As per Bill Lotozo's question regarding VOCLF's share price making it harder for them to expand their business, I would have to say.... No. The agreements that would have a significant impact on the company would most probably come from outside investments like DT and not from VOCLF buying smaller companies using their stock as collateral. Good Luck All, Jon
