I remember them all, and I approached VLDI with a HIGH LEVEL of skepticism, UNTIL 100% of my Due Diligence confirmed as far as any human being could confirm such things, that VLDI is the REAL DEAL, and Bruce Benn is everything JS and others said he is. And then I stopped doubting, and started reading the PRs and other information with cautious OPTIMISM, trying to understand what the man was trying to do. And I didn't approach them believing that BB didn't have a clue, was a liar, a thief, a scammer ready to steal every dime from his shareholders by outright theft or some ridiculous concern over a Reverse Split that will never come.
I am not stupid enough to throw caution to the wind, but I am also not stupid enough to believe that every word out of the mouth of the man is a lie, and that he could pull the wool over the eyes of EVERYONE, and put out PRs, EVEN IN PENNYLAND, that were 100% deception, exaggeration, and lies, and get away with it.
Regarding the other companies, I went to CTKH, I met FH face to face, and I posted over 24,000 times on the RB. I was the go-to guy for many people regarding CTKH, and I was one of those who finally concluded that he was scamming us, and I said so, and sold.
I did the same thing with LP and MDMN. I was the only one in the room at one of their shareholder meetings who stood up and asked the only question that mattered. And I sold them and moved on when I was convinced that they were a scam.
But even though CTKH was a scam, players could have and some did make over 1000% profit when they jumped from .0005 or .0006 to somewhere between .069 and .071. (I forget)
And MDMN went up to .18 or higher, and the players made 600% - 1000% profit. And it is still in play.
And BDLF went up 700% before it crashed. And they weren't a scam, just poorly run.
NPER went up 600% before it crashed.
CAVR went up 280% before it crashed. And it may still be in play.
CDCH went up over !500% before it crashed, and it is still in play.
So lots of astute players made money on them all.
And then there is VLDI. And even those who do not believe in their long term possibilities will tell you that they are making money trading them. But to hear people talk about them, they are trash through and through. And the ones who are making the most negative noise are the ONLY ones here who are consistently making money trading VLDI for PROFIT, via short AND LONG trades. But to read the comments made, one would think that VLDI is a TERRIBLE stock, not worth looking at, not worth putting a dime on. And who is saying that? Who is talking all this TRASH about how terrible VLDI is? Why the very people who are making hundreds of percentage points in short term swing trading profits. Whining all the way to the bank.
Listen, we are investing in the most dangerous market in the world. For goodness sakes, I was once doing DD on a penny stock that actually used the picture of another company's manufacturing facility on their web site, and said that it was theirs. I get the part that most penny stocks are either going to fail because they are run poorly, or are outright scams. I have been doing this for almost 15 years I have been around that block many times. But that isn't the point.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
TO MAKE PROFIT ON VLDI.
So, if that is the ONLY REASON any of us have bought this stock, does it REALLY matter that some of us are looking for short term profits on daily swings, and others are hoping for long term profits from product announcements or a buyout? What is there about this stock that people aren't willing to just make a profit? No, they have to destroy everyone else's hope while they are doing it.
The short-term investors act like the only way they can make money on VLDI is to bash it into the ground and take the money from everyone else's pockets. And the long-term investors act like they have to make the MMs, Brokers, Swing-traders, day-traders, and scalpers lose money or they can't win.
THAT IS TOTAL NONSENSE. And all it proves is that all of them are actually amateurs. If they were actually as professional as they would have you believe, and the greatest researchers, and traders in the world, they would know that when a CEO remains silent for 5 weeks, or when he puts out cryptic PRs that say one thing and seem to mean another, or when he says thing that do not appear to work out the way WE THOUGHT he was saying they would, THE PRICE IS GOING TO BE EFFECTED NEGATIVELY BY THAT, and it will go down giving the traders an entry point for their next swing. And there is no reason for the bashing or the pumping. This is the stock market, and the stock market goes UP and it goes DOWN, and it does it ALL BY ITSELF, and I do not have to destroy anyone to make it do it.
The saddest part of this is that this is SUPPOSED TO BE a DUE DILIGENCE FORUM. And DD does NOT start with a PRECONCEIVED negative or positive attitude, or a determination to be RIGHT even if it hair lips every other investor on the forum. REAL Due Diligence searches for EVERYTHING that can be found about a company, examines the negative and the positive to determine its importance, NEVER makes a quick determination, ALWAYS asks if a negative exists, why does it exist, what effect will it have on short-term profitability or long-term profitability? IS it a deal breaker? And vice versa with the positive.
And it NEVER forgets that the only reason we are here is profit.
If it is reasonable to assume that in its present condition, VLDI can make us a regular swing trading profit with low risk, then what is NEGATIVE ABOUT THAT?
Do I actually have to make others feel like idiots to make my profit? Can't I just make my profit QUIETLY and be thankful the opportunity presented itself? DO I REALLY NEED TO MAKE THE LONGS FEEL STUPID WHILE I AM AT IT? And just where do the short traders think the money came from that they just pocketed? A money tree? NO, it came from the longs who have a different hope. And those longs were GLAD to buy the shares from the short-termers. Why can't the short term traders just be thankful that the market is that diversified?
The real question is, Who are the REAL IDIOTS? Because if the short-term traders were half as smart as they think they are, they would be doing all they can to help the longs have hope in the company so they will be willing to buy from the short-termer when he wants to sell. How stupid do you have to be to actually buy a stock for a short term swing trade, buy it on the cheap, and they spent all day, every day, bashing snot out of the stock which actually serves to depress the very price the trader needs to go UP. Now that is STUPID.
And when a player actually shorts a penny stock hoping for downward moves to let him cover, why can't he just let the market forces do their thing. The price is going to go down again. It doesn't need any help. It is the nature of penny stocks.
And when the LONGS FINALLY make their money when Bruce makes the product, and contract, and revenue announcements I believe he will eventually make, I for one will not be one of the ones trying to make the short-term investors feel stupid for not holding (though I cannot promise the same thing for the bashers left holding empty money bags). I will be glad they are there to buy my shares at a nice profit for me, so they can make their day-trade. And I will be glad for them that they made what they were looking for, though in the back of my mind I will always wonder why they were smart enough, being the consummate professionals they claim to be, to see that VLDI is the REAL DEAL all along, they just took a little longer than we had expected to get off the launching pad.
