To all: I HAVE MET THE INFAMOUS FMK!!! As you all know I am very LONG VLNC. I too attribute a lot of my optimism about the company from info received from FMK. With all the bashing going on and the substantial position I have in the comapny, I decided to blow a couple of vacation days and some frequent flyer miles to meet the mystery man himself. While I am a BIG TA guy, I couldn't help but to try to get in front of the company's biggest chear leader. Fred was gracious and accepted my request for a face to face meeting. We just said goodbye an hour ago and our meeting was held in Minnesota (damn it's cold here!!!). Any way, here's some of the highlights: Fred does exist! He showed up with a full 3-ring notebook of the history of his contacts and notes since he started following the stock. I spent HOURS going through this material asking questions and validating the info. He was not only forward and honest in his answers, he was very patient with my tedious queries. Secondly, FMK has much more info than any of us could hope to have on this company. His sources checked out 100%. Sure they have been wrong (timing wise only!), but folks, trust me on this, FMK has legitimate info. I shared with him the latest info I recieved from my "sources," and was able to match it up with info from his. Much of what FMK learns, he shares. Some call it hype and some believe he is a paid EE of VLNC. On both accounts, those of you who claimed this were WRONG. Fred is an ordinary guy...much like many of us...with extremely high aspirations and hopes for this very promising company. Could he have saved face by not going out on the edge so much....perhaps, but again, if you saw the info this guy has accumulated, you would be impressed. His contact list goes MUCH DEEPER than what ever has been posted on this or the Yahoo threads. I have seen REAL documents with REAL names and contacts from comapnies related to VLNC (sorry can't say more)but, it's real stuff. It's late and I want to outline more of our conversations but I need to do some other things b4 crashing. I will re-group my thoughts when I return home and post them. Fred will now probably accuse me of being more of a hypster than him, but now I have something that many of you wish you had...the knowledge that the man is real, the memory of seeing his plethera of information and data, and the confidence that what he has been sharing with us will ultimately play out as fact. I'm no market timing maven, but I know that I will return home 2morrow with more confidence THAN EVER that FMK should be respected and followed. Maybe others have been burned in the past due to bad timing only (including FMK), but from what I have learned this evening, there can't be much time left to get into this stock so cheaply. Thank you Fred...you were a complete gentleman for taking my visit. At least I can say that I put my $$$ where my mouth is and went to the trouble to legitimize the most well-known member of this thread. If you had any doubts about FMK and his claims and motives, don't. Be smart and invest in a way that YOU feel comfortable. I for one feel 100% better about the company than I did just a few short hours ago. I am sorry so many of you have attacked FMK...falsely labeling him and brandishing him on any bad or delayed news. For those that are long...keep following FMK's posts. His info is legit albeit often not exactly timed with reality. But, again, his info is far more than hype...I saw it WITH MY OWN EYES. Finally, thank you Fred for the bottle of LA CHIPADA...and to the other member of the SI thread who has connections to the bottler! I look forward to sipping some with my wife when I get back home. I'll be building my position over the next few days...and believe that it won't be much longer before the proverbial home run is hit. As always...good luck to all and thank you again FMK! HC
