Anyone care to guess why WorldCom Chairman Bert Roberts, who joined the VLNC Board of Directors last Fall (guess he didn't have anything better to do with his time) bought $200,000 worth of Valence stock on the open market over the last 2 1/2 months? Anyone care to guess why other VLNC board members, including Alan Shugart of Seagate fame, bought a combined $1.5 million of VLNC stock on the open market last Fall? biz.yahoo.com Collective delusion? A self-destructive contagion?

VLNC...possible stock promotion fraud? I am very interested in this post: Message 7069515 It is very clear that numerous false rumors are being spread on SI and Yahoo regarding this company. If anyone can fill me in on the poster called 'FMK', please PM me in confidence.

Bill, Just checked on altavista for the names of either of the three VLNC officers who left. Search turned up nothing I could find, which means nobody else has put out a press release indicating that they had hired them -- a fairly common practice when you're pulling in somebody to an upper management position. It appears that the three of them left for reasons other than being offered a better job somewhere else... I don't like it when several officers leave all at once for any reason other than normal retirement (and I'm not crazy about companies which let themselves fall into the state where three top officers all retire within a few months either). I particularly don't like it if they all leave for undisclosed reasons. Need some more DD, but I'm beginning to agree with you on this one. mg
