Wooo weeeee, are you folks done flooding the bit-stream with testosterone? Jeeezus, having just waded through 20 some odd postings having ZERO to do with VLNC I feel like I've just watched two opposing groups of chimpanzees chest thumping and howling at each other from their differing perspectives. Give it a break folks. The wee cyber-gang group, who're clearly used to having their opinions bowed to, keep expressing how great they are, how bad and suspicious the opposition is, and how VLNC just can't possibly be for real. And through it all guess what......VLNC stock price stays confined to a small range. And, of course, having heard the chest-thumping of this crew the opposing tribe just has got to set up their own cacophony stating how great they are, how suspicious the other noisy tribe is, and how VLNC's gonna do magical things. The end result? VLNC stock price stays in that same tight range. Bottom Line? NO ONE CARES, at least no one that matters(and that be the Street). Now....about VLNC and those p.o.'s..... John~

Tickertype: <<Your motivations are so foreign to me that I can't figure it out. I know some of you say you're short the stock and presumably hope your bashing will drive it down. But that hasn't worked, and it won't. Others say you don't own any shares - that baffles me even more! Just why the hell do you spend hours here every day, badmouthing a company you don't own or believe in?>> With regard to stock badmouthing by those neither long nor short, an obvious reason is that they might want the stock to either first drop or at least not rise before they decide to buy. This, like shorting, is certainly a legitimate strategy, though irritating to those already holding the stock. However, such folks seldom state their posture - assuming, I suppose, that they would undermine their strategy by doing so. This is probably not a sound assumption on their part since they fool only a few, and not clearly stating one's posture is a sure way to lose credibility. In any event, I am perturbed only by their typically worthless and even goading posts (Zeev, for one, does not fit this mold, IMO). One-liners or weakly made arguments are boring at best and objectionable when they are abrasive or appear self-serving. Hey, guys - if you simply want the stock to drop or stagnate for your benefit, just say so. Stop pelting us with arguments that are so weak or phoney that we take offense. Further, if you actually do believe the company is going to fail, yet are not short, just give us a civil warning, along with your supporting evidence, then leave - stop wasting your and our time here.

Ticker: I don't think Zeev or Larry have the capability to look a man in the eye and seek his honest opinion. They choose to hide behind a computer screen and wantonly bash a company they know little about. I challenged Larry to attend the shareholders meeting and he declined. I sent Zeev an email and requested a list of questions to present at the shareholders meeting and he declined. That says enough.. Oh, and Zeev how do you know there are "zealots" out there if you just hit the next button. The truth stings a little doesn't it!
