MGV, Your analysis of the "data points" regardingValence is quite good. I would agree with you on all of them. Yet consider these: 1. How has Valence survived all these years if they had nothing ? 2. Why have some of the most well known captains of industry(Berg, Shugart,Burt) joined the Valence board ? 3. What if Valence has learned from its past mistakes and now has all the pieces of the puzzle worked out ? Much like a puzzle, you make a lot of attempts until you get it right, and until you get it right, the puzzle is incomplete. 4. Why has Valence ramped up hiring, both executive as well as line workers ? One could have easily said in the past, they couldn't produce because they didn't have the workers, but can you still say that now ? 5. Why has Valence invested in 3 lines with a 4th on the way, when all they need is one line to get product out ? 6. Why is Hanil beginning production testing? History is a terrible judge of future performance if you believe that humans and organizations don't learn. Answer the above questions to yourself and you will come to this conclusion : The final piece of the puzzle is about to be slammed home.

Wrong on many points there, 'pal.' I've been far too polite with you, much more than you deserve. We've been over this before. You simply ignore the most important factors (some of which 'add' reminded you of), and attempt to construct a tale that fits your conclusion. All that matters is whether Valence has successfully developed their product. They have. This was completed one year ago, enabling them to first produce commercial samples from Henderson last summer, then from Ireland since this last winter, from multiple lines. Now it has been confirmed by visits to the NI plant that every step of the production process has been validated to be ready to run at full-speed, and in fact it has begun. Final confirmation of shipping of commercial product to customers is now measured in weeks. Rather than decrying (as you do) how long it has taken to develop the technology, implement it in a factory setting, and progressively bring an entire factory up to speed and into balanced operation, anyone who is aware of how far they've come in just one year is rightfully amazed at the speed of progress. You have it upside down, backwards, and inside out. You speak only of the past, not of the current state. These sudden cries of yours are your last gasp here. You ought to remember your own advice: 'Why do you bother posting here? No one reads these threads.' You only make yourself look foolish with your insulting demeanor, not to mention the vituperative personal insults. Your childlike, schoolyard taunts attempt to evoke emotional response from those you attack. So transparent. Then you never respond to the explicit points made by the other posters, but construct instead a straw man of partial truths, misrepresentation of events and material fact, and leaps of illogic. It is pointless to continually dispute with you, since you never admit how wrong you are, but move on to new false claims. You do this thread a great disservice. You are wasting our time. You are wasting your life.
