Happy Anniversary. Like a Phoenix-Bird rising in Chandler!
Expansive new building, solid CEO and successful new sales approach.
Huge revenue performance flowing through to the bottom line.
Amazing companywide rebirth worthy of celebration.
Could say why now... But saying why not!
Hollow happy-talk pumping by FCEL management remains fruitless!
Inability to sell products that perform as advertised, installed on time and on budget remains rampant.
Diluting stock into oblivion to continue squandering more on failed management's self-enrichment remains flawed.
Market rightfully gutted the share price based on years of continued failed sales, product, installation & financial performance.
The answer is obviously not doubling-down on even greater failure, but rather installing new leadership that actually performs and EARNS their pay. More votes and more happy-talk exploring new ways to sit on their hands and burn through even greater amounts of money even faster is certainly not the answer!!!
Don't tell Fish about Form 4 dates/content!
Celebrating 30 years of lumpy share-price stagnation!
Seeking motivated customers willing to assume sales responsibilities.
Note: We strictly adhere to our 'Don't Ask, Don't Sell' tradition.
Continued fails...Sales program, meeting specs and timely installation!
Sell something, anything, that works as promised, operational, on time and on budget.
Shareholders can't afford 20 more years of developmental pie-in-the-sky.
Hire a CEO that understands operations and produces sales.
Executive overcompensation for failure must end.
Few's happy-talk is not performance.
Great; sales out to lunch...But FINALLY left building!
But who's going to wait for the phone to ring?
Crafty... What's next, one-way tickets?
Performance pay/commissions?
New job listing:
Sr. Pantone profiler. Must have BS in happy spaces.
No cigar for lumpy sales party favors!
Another announcement of as-yet non-announcement.
How many years does it take to move out of an old building???
Perhaps new-building colors have been finalized by our industrious board.
Alas...'rewarded our loyal shareholders' over past 3 decades!
Yea...Ok...
I'll leave it to the stats experts to figure the microscopic percentage-of-return on investment.
The lost opportunity here remains challenging for me to fully appreciate and compute over decades of time.
Listing 3yrs projects sold and completed remains key!
Dead-bolt lock against on-time and on-budget completion fails remain very problematic.
Developmental stuff is not valued the same as on-time nameplate performers.
Sales are dependent upon real value as well as real unknown risk.
Pie-in-the-sky evaporates without a solid business model.
Shareholder rejection an embarrassment ignored.
Market respect is earned rather than spun.
AKA: Innate career-tenured, non-profit/governmental research fellow!
Interesting, but I was speaking to something different!
VirTra needs a professional sales team organized and driven by exceptional career sales performers.
Superb sales professionals sell whatever product they are tasked with selling.
Learning a product is quite easy and a very basic task.
Mastering sales is an elusive art.
A bit of training, a seminar or two and a fancy haircut provides but a revolving door of order-takers.
Professional sales is not about years on the job, but rather, a solid performance history.
It's about the money at VirTra. Commensurate renumeration is essential.
Solutions rather than excuses... And ways to 'make it happen'.
The past is but a vehicle to today!
Past due... Foot-dragging sales efforts no joy!
Another year wasted wearing out the revolving door???
Or do they finally PAY for proven sales expertise and performance.
It all starts with sales professionals, not meager order-takers watching time go by.
Disapointing, just now seeing to-do hire list.
Expected Givens to be further along and up to speed.
Any chatter of Virtra / Vision Pro connection?
Delighted 80% happy with shares declining to $2.00!
Hopefully, all those remain delighted, or the share price could be down to $0.20 soon.
I expected more from Few, instead it seems Few and management expected more from shareholders.
Amazing the sharp share price decline and stability given such enthusiasm over deeply discounted share availability.
Real answer to positive earnings requires the selling and installing of reliable products that perform as advertised and on time.
That big, fat, enormous elephant in the room remains invisible to Few, his happy-talk cronies and 80% of shareholders.
Failed performance will NOT be painted over by current sector favorability.
AKA as continuing to dig the hole deeper!
Buried in the release was Few's loss for words of explanation... And happy-talk.
The crazed word wizards are certainly tumbling this every way possible for a positive spin.
Investors detest over-compensation sandwiched between poor judgement and performance failures.
Investment turned flier for now, that will turn-up at some point for shorts and traders to profit from and enjoy.

Optics do however magnify their cumulative underlying failures!
The crisis continues...
Failed management remain sole winners.
Givens did good, like a real CEO should!
Capable, goal-oriented leadership serving results and misses for review.
Appears to be a team builder and willing to lead by example.
Set the proper course and then get out of the way.
Attitude... Without having an attitude.
Delegate power with duty.
The best thing that's happened to square the errors of the past.
Seems he's broken down the big mess into manageable pieces to remedy.
Only one CEO necessary, with monies much better spent rewarding sales performance.
The big mess is now in remission.
He still needs to take shareholder's questions.
$ 7.90
Worst possible timing via share-price or interest rates!
Management celebrates by proposing additional self-enrichment.
Crappy timing on all counts but it's 'no-worries' to them.
Ship of fools about to sink in an ocean of debt.
Damn the dilution, full speed ahead!
Saying vs the doing continues...Show me the earnings!
They need to turn their happy talk into firm submission dates and approvals.
Endless words are not performance. Product approvals, sales and earnings remain absent.
$1.28 does not scream investor confidence.
Every delay yet another failure by FCEL leadership!
Management padding their compensation remains their priority.
Shareholder concerns peak over increased compensation after failed performance.
Management happy talk muted by piss-poor sales, endless delays and constant quality control issues.
How about building something dependable that actually performs to specs and can be installed on time and on budget.
Then and only then will they have earned any discussion for increased compensation.
Currently, leadership should be fired for their failed performance and continued wasteful spending.
Printing more shares to be squandered by the current crew would be even more bizarre then the existing mess.
Time for change...Purge 'whatever' boys and their delays!
Increased compensation for failed performance remains sole effort not finding endless delays.
Share increase a necessity, but not squandered. Reliable products need be installed on time and on budget.
Tossing CEO and the lazy losers on BOD with share increase remains the drastic action necessary to save this company.
$ 1.87 in this golden environment SCREAMS absolute failure.
Share price bounce is due, but only on a technical basis.
Exxon slow-walk partner turned one-way anchor!
They would control/kill the technology in a heartbeat, solely of their own interests.
Meanwhile, they continue their foot dragging on our weak FCEL management, left in despair.
Zero excuse to continue playing the sap with technology they control.
They have moved FCEL from weakness to a band of beggars.
They either commit being in 100% or cut them loose.
Driving the rich guy around in a fancy car is not the same as success.
Few's failures to perform came home to roost!
The lazy BOD needs shaken up to wake them up.
No increased compensation due for failed performance.
Need performance pay review and ax the bloated dead weight.
Pretty words of happy endings have long-ago proven fruitless and tiring.
Few and his cronies have destroyed the urgency component necessary for success.
Attempts calling small shareholders like me to swing the vote was the last straw for my patience.
It's time to finally demand this company does something proper... On time and on budget. NO EXCUSES!!!
Ouch!
No news good news...He didn't buy more Modern-Round!
Grandfather of failure remains rightfully noted.

Finding yourself capsized more likely than finding treasure!
Hope springs eternal, even as water gushes inside this anchored wreck.
Sad thing being the stars all continue to be lined up as the jackass finds only failure.
Right time, right place, over time.
Ten years of failure would seem long enough.
Sorry for your loss.
But he throws only anchors.
You recognized the problem then, but the problem remains!
Bob's ignorance, incompetence and total disregard for shareholders continues.
My desire for new board members to initiate change went unanswered with their own incompetence.
Two skippers now sailing double-ended sinking boat!
Each has the helm but no working compass for guidance setting a proper course.
Their sails long since rotted away, as they remain adrift, sheltered only by increased compensation.
Fog increases, as they explore new ways to snatch failure while surrounded by a sea of booty, in a bountiful ocean.
But it's lost opportunity all around... And another old dried-up crust of bread to be tossed toward the crew.

Fanciful words no substitute for real world earnings!
Endless on-the-job training and continued failures restrain Virtra's incredible potential.
Luck aligned government desires with our product portfolio, while we seize only lost opportunity.
Increased bottom line earnings always matter for company success.
Failure to increase said earnings year after year after year matter even more.
Axon management has always been the real deal. Virtra remains but a distant shadow.
Wasted time, trip and money!
Bob need not appear at another dog and pony show without having either to share.
Unnecessary to highlight his failure to grow the bottom line; speaks for itself.
His continued inability to provide guidance remains big red flag to all.
Little interest in failed earnings producers, especially those clueless of their future.
No boasting about self-enrichment bonus packages; Modern Round failures.
Or the failure to provide accurate timely required financial reporting.
Better he remains alone in a darkened office then brag about share price situation.
Begin seeking past performance from previous adventures!
Gather sentiment from other message boards of their previous worth when first dumped upon VirTra's doorstep. Share their inaction and weakness when they are dumped upon others. This could become the norm on message boards and save a lot of investors a lot of money. Beyond the cherry-picked resume; nowhere to hide.
Meeting listing requirements, for cheap and fogging a mirror seem the only requirements outside of rubber-stamp proficiency. Currently creating value remains both an inconvenience and afterthought.
Successful companies employ, encourage and empower dynamic vision and experience.
Unfortunately, VirTra is led by someone that solely and mistakenly already knows it all.
Hoghead7, thanks for all the great informative links!
As an investor, I seek/read FCEL information and make my own decisions.
Continuous 'why and what-if' back and forth really dilutes the factual input you provide.
I am not happy with the delayed progress by FCEL, but still question them directly for answers.
Thanks again for sharing so much DD!
No good way to spin consistent fails!
Improved earnings rather than good intentions mark successful management.
Continued excuses overshadow any positives the company may have achieved.
Share price plunge expected given poor earnings and lengthy timeframe for improvement.
Greatest concern remains management showing little regard to wasting both time and money.
Finding some kind of share-price bottom remains as elusive as improved management performance
Merry Christmas shareholders.
Nice report, thanks!
Sheep or shill??? Real confidence booster she be!
"...to continue the Company’s strong track record of financial performance."
Company reality descends into deeper denial. What color is the sky in the world of VirTra.
Corporate cronyism continues to fester.
Note market excitement expressed by today's volume.
Maybe they report next 2or3 as a batch!
Got to keep it close to the vest...
Performance???...!
Shareholders deserve who/what/how they vote.
Another 5 months of close-to-the-vest; another 10 years.
What's everything green, goes up and doesn't start with 'V'...???
Huge potential remains compromised only by gross mismanagement!
Expectation remains for some sort of learning curve progress or changed management.
That will likely require Givens getting the other losers to finally get out of the way.
Sole source supply could finally land a whale, or two, or three very soon.

And then pigs fly...
Failed CEO continues killing shareholder value!
Failed CEO took nearly 1/2 million dollars in compensation for last year.
Failed ERP transition, failed accounting and failed timely move into new building.
Wasteful expenses continue to mount needlessly supporting overhead for three buildings.
Inept CEO requiring a Co-CEO for filling void, thus additional huge compensation package adding to expenses. A competent BOD would have replaced rather than propped-up a failed CEO. Instead, the BOD spent their efforts initiating an additional compensation bonus plan.
Justified current share price hit would be even worse with more volume.
Abrupt financial officer departure following extended late filings compounds fails.
This organization continues to completely lack in basic professional operational direction.
All while aimlessly cast adrift in a perfect storm of swelled governmental spending nearly everywhere.
