If Zeev doesn't want to compare VLNC with IPMCF, I will.

There is one very big similarity between the two SI threads. IPMCF had a "head cheerleader" who constantly claimed to have inside knowledge, constantly claimed that good news was just around the corner, constantly claimed the latest decline in the stock was the last opportunity to buy shares before they took off, and constantly insulted anybody who disagreed with his pronouncements.

Another similarity, much of IPMCF was held by well-known institutions. Anybody who raised doubts was met with a sarcastic, "I'm sure you've done more due dilligence than XXXX, fund manager for the XXXX fund, who owns 20% of the company."

This thread reads exactly like the IPMCF thread did a couple years ago. Does that mean VLNC will fail and go bankrupt? No. But the same tired arguments are used here that were used for IPMCF.
