<Hell, I might buy it myself. Seriously.> Sort of my idea....I own a very very small number of shares at 16...thought about taking it as a tax loss a while ago, but upon reflection, I reconsidered. At this price, maybe it makes sense to double or triple down. Actually, as I write this post, it is already over 7. As a value contrarian investor, I am starting to see VNTV as a possible long term investment - obviously with some risk. VNTV has a good short term reward side if they are bought out, as well as a long term reward aspect if their new CEO (and/or subsequent managment) can turn them around. Wish the Board picked someone closer to the profile of IFMX's CEO Finnochio, though for the later approach, but I guess (a) it isn't always easy to attract that kind of talent, and (b) who is to say VNTV's current CEO isn't only an interim - which in that case makes them very likely to be sold I suspect. Thanks for the spin.....SemiBull

"Hell, I might buy it myself" Maybe thats why the stock is up today - bidding war by shareholders who can actually afford to take out the company!
