It's good to see a little chatter on this board. This is a great company and the only reason that it went down today is because I bought some more early in the day. What I like about the company is the way they keep growing it with strategic acquisitions and product offerings. These guys know what they are doing. With regard to insider sales, that doesn't bother me at all. Because stock options are a major part of the incentive package, it's perfectly normal for the officers to liquidate at regular intervals. Look at Bill Gates and all the other Microsoft officers - they are always selling Microsoft stock. It's part of a successful growing company. I would be a little leery if VSIO officers weren't selling stock for that matter. It would mean that they are paid too well to afford new houses and fancy cars. Long VSIO

Visio dominates the sectors it is in similar to dear Microsoft. Also, sales of Visio software is highly correlated with PC/Microsoft/Intel/Dell sales. You can't say these things so strongly about very many other software cos. My point was that there are tons of "babies thrown out with the bathwater" and Visio appears to be a promising baby that has been thrown. I can think of actual fundamental reasons why Vitesse stock has dropped. Try...Vitesse's customers are experiencing a slowdown... You said: What's your take?
