Paul, Your defensiveness speaks volumes. Is your portfolio down more than 50%? Given your mention of TBR, it is trading right now at about 6-7 times next year's consensus. Invest in it and your portfolio won't be down more than 50% in the next 12 months. If you invest enough, it could be up more than 50%. Mark

With the stock under $4, I must admit I got the mother of all margin calls. I didn't liquidate any VLNC shares, nor do I intend to. However, my margin debit balance is due 8/25, which I assume is true of others in such a position. Margin selling could continue early next week, however after that, if it rises above $4 it would then be marginable and we could see a wave of margin buying. The bleeding appears to have subsided. Anyone have current short interest information? If so, please post.

From the Aug 1998 Portable Design magazine, a quote from Joseph Carcone, VP of Sales & Marketing for Sanyo: "We expect to introduce a lithium polymer battery within the next 12 months," says Carcone. "But right now, it offers no energy density benefits over Li-ion. The only advantage for designers of portables is that lithium polymer batteries may be thinner. Other [battery] companies are generally looking to introduce them as part of their marketing position, to make them seem to be on the cutting edge with buyers."
