Ease up Robert. Don't you have any faith in all the insider buying? That means a hell of a lot more to me than some article in a magazine. Keep the faith, it will payoff. Tmoore

Robert, VLNC has no contracts of public record. How do you expect any author to know what contract negotiations are going on behind the scenes? Nobody but the negotiators know. The insiders who scooped up large positions recently are telegraphing good news. That, and Lev Dawson's optimistic remarks at the CC are all the public info available. Nobody is going to believe VLNC until contracts are made public. Except for those of us who are making informed judgements based on the info we have, and judge the risk to reward to be very favorable. VLNC shares do not come with any warrantee, implied or otherwise, except the good faith statements of the company that they are on the cusp of commercial success. It's up to you to decide whether or not to believe them. I wouldn't expect any magazine author to speculate on how close VLNC is to success, even if he/she really was paying very close attention. If he knew anything we don't VLNC would be in legal trouble. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating....I'm also getting really hungry...My stomach has been growling for months!

now mr Einstein I think you are a bit quick with judgment...first I would like to know if you heard about Moltech before the 98 Power? now mention of VLNC is not important...VLNC did not participate in the show....no mention of LITH or REDOX either...all going down the toilet??? BTW is I remember correctly, doesn't Bellcore have a licensing agreement with VLNC.... I have not heard about any contract that ULBI has signed yet or any announcement of mass production either...ther were too many "believe" in this report...does not look professional to me.... and at the end of it all.....maybe VLNC does not even have to produce the batteries, but just collect patent infringement fees.....remember the patent portfolio???? and last but not least Carl Berg , Shugart, Lev Dawson and 16 other institutional holders, do not pour their money "down the toilet".... VLNC boasted about their technology 6 years ago...now it is the other companies turn to boast around a bit in order to raise funds & cash....VLNC is past that....we are real, we are going to production, we are the present player not the future wanna be.... FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT,PLEASE, AS WE ARE READY TO TAKE OFF......

Robert, sorry not to respond sooner. I believe Valence's absence from the Power '98 show was summed up quite well by another poster a few days ago. They have already identified scores of potential customers, have been shipping them large volumes for testing and have already been discussing delivery schedules, pricing, terms and conditions. They simply are past the point of needing to find more potential customers. A company like ULBI, for example, has over a dozen products including primary (non rechargeable) batteries for different applications, including 9 volt smoke detector batteries and therefore several categories of customers that may attend the show. Valence is concentrating on high volume of very few products. If three or four customers are ready to buy all they can produce and demand exceeds supply, why go looking for more customers? I believe Lev mentioned during the Aug 12 conference call that it is more a matter of convincing the large OEM's that they can produce sufficient quantities. By the way, I was also disappointed that we were so close yet failed to break $5 this week. We have been waiting for a very long time. I remain convinced that we are close to developments that will make it more than worthwhile. Hang in there and have a good weekend!
