Blaine, Re tax loss selling.The only time I would expect to see tax loss selling is to offset capital gains realized in a given year. If people have been investing in the VSE stocks they are probably either in a loss position or have had very few gains that require offsetting unless they picked the absolute basement price or were in say, ARP or WSP. With this stock near the bottom, or just up slightly, I wouldn't suspect tax loss selling would be a threat.Anyone who sells now or has sold has other reasons than tax loss selling and are not aware of the stage we are at in this stock and the SVB play. What I am saying is people who have been in this since last year know the stock and it's upside potential given good core samples and would not be selling to generate a tax loss at this point even though they may be in at much higher prices.FWIW.
