The stock exhibits volatility, so I have learned not too get TOO excited when it makes these periodic upswings on higher volume, or too depressed when the bottom drops out. VCSI is in my very long term portfolio (buy and fuhgeddabowdit).

Hi, Sorry about my late response to your post. I don't follow daily volume, but did notice Wainwright initiated coverage in December with a buy. I have bought several times under $2 in 98. I like VCSI because the management has show good judgement in several key decisions; -offering recognition software that is not cotinuous enhanced (far more complex, and it will come with time, but discrete recognition is at a marketable status) -packaging this platform to a diverse group of business software companies (p12 or 14 of 1997 annual) -Market veiw; VCS views four vertical layers of market distribution as 1) licensing 2) component sales 3) system sales 4) solution sales -exiting the hardware business Additionally the fall in cost of signal processing chips will help bring VCS's costs down. The annual makes mention of OKI Semiconductor's plans to introduce a cost-reduced version of a Voice Recognition Processor in 98 (p12 of the glossy). I have not followed the progress on this. Good management and falling component costs; great mix! I have a dislike for pushing buttons on phone directories and my guess is most people do, so I anticipate fast acceptance of the system sales. hope this helps, later, art
