Seriously, if you are the big wheeler-dealer you claim to be, why are you dodging this $100k challenge put forth by Mooter? You seem willing to bet your lemmings money by telling them that VLNC is headed for $1, yet you won't put up any cash to defend your statement. Admit it, you were trying to spook some investors into selling, and make a quick buck or two on the down side. Didn't work. How many listened? Those that listened and shorted better watch out, this SEC filing is exactly what the President said was coming months ago. He also said that the shares would be issued at substantially higher prices once the first contracts were announced! Look for an announcement of contract(s) and movement into the mid-teens near term. If this news is so bad, and you were shorting into the low volume today, and the stock closed flat, WHO was buying and why? Why no sell off? Why the low volume? The SEC filing show that Castle Creek hasn't shorted a single share! Why haven't they sold any of their HUGE position? Why are they agreeing to the offering of new shares since they have the power to stop it? Because the shares will be offered AT MUCH HIGHER PRICES AFTER THE P.O.'s ARE ANNOUNCED! Short more or cover, I don't care. Just trying to help with a few facts. Where are those cards you claim to have wexler? Make the bet tough guy! Everyone's watching...

Gee, Bill, I didn't mean to make a laughable bet with you, nor a sham wager. I normally don't bet with faceless names on the internet either, and so to lend some credence to my proposal, I was suggesting we escrow funds with an acceptable third party financial institution.
Most people I think would consider that suggestion more 'reasonable' than a 'sham'.
I'm of the opinion that $ 1.00 per share is ludicrous, so much that I was willing to challenge you on it, and you didn't respond except with your usual prattle.
You rant like you have some real conviction, yet you don't really seem to back it up. As many have said here and elsewhere, the stock will find its natural level. Good luck with your short position - may you short as many shares as I own and then some.>>

<<and a CFO that just came from a company that manufactures card shufflers.>>

Bill, you forgot to mention that card shuffler manufacturer managed to sell all of $28,000 worth of card shufflers in 1998. Which is exactly $28,000 more than VLNC 1998 sales.

Of course, the VLNC bulls would argue that nobody in their right mind would leave a such a successful company for VLNC unless purchase orders were imminent. <VBG>
