I had figured maybe buying some of this after a serious pullback after the day traders move on to new ground. The revenues of this are kind of tiny, so the market cap is "Lost in Space". Any opinion as to whether how long VERT management would be willing to wait before maybe doing a secondary stock offering. They must be kicking themselves now, figuring they sold the stock too cheap. I have seen secondary offerings happen pretty quick after an IPO - fastest I seem to recall would be around 4-5 months. Do any of the people currently long - do you think they have actually gone through the numbers? I just have a tough time understanding the price compared to revenues, earnings, and other....occasional valuable pieces of information.
