HC: Your points are valid, and those insider share purchases being thought of as a "removal from the float" is a viewpoint I hadn't considered. And given the thinly traded nature of VLNC, along with the relatively small number of shares outstanding......like I said, your points are valid. It's just that global market conditions(which I got to see up close and personal in recent weeks) are troubling, and FAR from over. Still, I will allow that a OEM contract of significance(and the underground has its share of rumors, eh?) will certainly alter the landscape. Perhaps even to the point of VLNC being viewed as a "safe harbor" for capital in these troubled times. But I don't know if I agree with the Olympic analogy. I kind'a like the horse-race one meself. Lot'sa similarities there. VLNC stumbles out of the gate and the competition roars on ahead. Then she picks herself up, puts her head down, all the while ignoring the groans, and takes off in pursuit of the competition. Now, rounding the final curve on the outside line she appears to be gathering momentum in preparation for a supreme surge ahead of the pack, perhaps to cross the finish line going away. And where are we? We're in the stands yelling to high heaven and guarding our winning tickets! Heh! I know, I know, a weee bit of hype, but still, ya gotta admit it's an adrenalin rush to have been there at the initial groans, and to now see VLNC about to achieve something few thought possible. The fulfillment of a dream to mass produce an advanced product which they can "sell as many as they can make" unquote. From a business persons standpoint, this type of thing doesn't come along very often, and most certainly should be savored when it happens. THAT's why I love speculating. When you lose.....well.....you get the write-off. But when you win.....WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Such things are memories, and history, made of. ;-) John~

I sure like the tone of the posts lately! After all the handwringing, everyone seems to be really upbeat now. "On the cusp" - the new business term for the next century! HC, I think if we saw an announcement that the big names you mentioned, IBM & MOT, were getting set to take delivery of our nice little batteries, $8 would very likely be conservative even for the first day! At least if it came out early in the morning. A few more weeks perhaps.......................... - T -

Duh! Unless I'm missing something here, the recent purchases by insiders (more than 1) is a clear message that very good things are on the horizon. No insider manipulation. No scandal. One insider, maybe. Three (plus Archibald and others), definitely not, unless you're talking about the scam of the century, and then, if that's the case,m why in the world would these guys buy? Shuggarts purchase iced the cake for me. Sure, VLNC has sputtered, and missed earlier projections in the past. Hell, I should know. I've been invested and following this company since 1992! It's been a long road, and for many years, I just forgot about the company. But, I believe they're back, and ready to roar. The potential is huge, so says Wolanchuck. Hey, "Getrich", weren't you associated with one of the company's suppliers of equipment? Anything you can say? A while back you had said that since you were so close to this company that you would refrain from posting due to potential conflict of interest. Anything change that allows you to post now? Keep the faith. All of the TA looks very, very, very good for VLNC. Even dctx on the Yahoo thread is a VLNC bull! Looking to a good Q498.
