Hc: Agreed with what yer saying; definitely play the options. As for all the folks who've invested soooo much of their ego into this SPECULATION....well.....I gotta smile over the on-going assorted "tiffs," with a particularly large chuckle over Mark Visnic(aka. Darkgreen). Why? Because his first set of posts by way of counciling this thread were comments about keeping the emotion out of your investing, yet he has gone on to prove he's as emotionally rabid in his "everyone here is blind, there's zero hard data" manner about VLNC as FMK is in his very informative but impossible to completely corroborate postings(no offense to either individual). Bottom Line on VLNC? 'Tis still a speculative issue, one which may be just a tad less so because of two key indicators, one of which ALL(well, me anyway) speculators look for when laying down some gambling money. And that is the ~500,000 shares bought by insiders just...what...TWO short months ago. For those with any speculative experience you know this is a telling indicator. The addition of a name recognized board participant is merely icing on the cake. As for corporate pronouncements now of course they'd be nice, but if you've the history with VLNC then you know they've been mauled by the legal profession due to perceived past transgressions. As everyone knows the case was thrown out(with prejudice). But as a consequence is it any wonder that VLNC is so tight lipped? Weee little VLNC has come far in the last two months and may go a lot further in the next couple but we have to have patience and give them the space to execute(and hopefully that won't be us longs, HEH!) So lighten up a little folks, it be the holiday season. It'd be nice if people here treated each other a tad less Scrooge-like and more in the manner in which you treat people face to face, at least for this brief interval of time. Meanwhile HC, let's see how today goes, eh? Regards! John~
