You're changing the subject- we were talking about margin. First you make several misleading posts about margin. Then I spend the time and effort to try and specifically clarify margin requirements and give an analysis on the possible impact of margin related selling. Then you go all over the place critiquing me and my investments. The point is that you didn't understand margin requirements. Why did you make several posts advising others on margin? Just admit you didn't understand margin requirements, and lets move on. (I'd like to joke "Are you man enough, or is it that all you do is 'girltalk'?" but I don't want to stoop to your name calling.) Paul So sorry, Mark, I had already posted a reply when I read your post. I know its inflammatory to respond to him, but I felt the margin selling question deserved a better more informed treatment.

Posted on 8/22 Moreover, it is very possible that the effect of margin on the stock price is not significant, in spite of what you suggest. It traded as low as 2 or less before; if there is not a material contract very soon, it could easily trade at 2 or lower again. Among other manifest weaknesses you have exhibited, you have been guilty of extreme myopia in this margin analysis and in your investment analysis. You are focussed on the wrong point. It is fundamentals and not margin that is the weight around VLNC. It is not going down because of some imagined nasty "short" monster. It is going down because of financial and competitive position. It appears from IBD VLNC has lost the support of at least one mutual fund manager. How many more have followed? Somebody is doing some serious selling.
