Re Insider buying- Washington Service "WSA" reports a correction. The previously-reported 75,000 shares by Lev Dawson and 20,000 shares by Dave Archibald were open-market purchases and not option related. It appears the insiders have bought roughly 515,000 shares recently, including Alan Shugart's 100,000 shares purchased above $4.

Fred,
"these folks don't invest ONE DIME, without some sort of supreme confidence, particularly when you're up in your 70's(Shugart) and looking to remain prosperous(after all, falling off the financial cliff at his age isn't something to cheer about, eh?)."
Yes, its positive news, but, even if VLNC went bust, AS would not fall off any financial cliffs because of the loss of half a million dollars.

Not being a naysayer, but it seems that insiders sometimes buy to
support the stock price or influence investor perceptions. Since VLNC
has to remain above a floor of three dollars per the recent financial
arrangements, isn't it conceivable that purchases are being driven by
factors other than fundamentals? Appreciate your view on this.
