Thought the microcap event was later in the week, PR said Sep 3rd.
It will be interesting to see the institutional ownership as of Sep 30th.
I do feel bad for anyone selling.
The price and volume are a gift.
Take advantage and buy.
When Q3 is announced it will be too late.
Also several catalysts between now and then.
So relax!
Ever see 13,000+ in premarket trading with VTSI.
My previous post was incorrect, meant $21 and not $12.
Quite a few premarket shares traded at 3.74 this am.
I feel sorry for whoever lost his shares.
This will be over $12 before end of September.
Finally fun times
I am optimistic.
A bit of a fire has been lit beneath our CEO.
Some new individuals with substantial means are now shareholders.
Some large contract wins cannot be announced due to contractual requirements.
I still cannot get over the $5.9mil order intake number for Q2.
Remember Floyd was killed in late May....not early April!
And police training is THE number 1 campaign issue.
VTSI heading way up leading into Q3 report and beyond.
Finally!
Why so quiet here?
This is buy time.
Q3 and Q4 will be HUGE!
2021 could be close to $50mil in revenue.
More data coming in each day.
And what if both candidates tour and play in the sim!
Potential finally being realized.
Cheers all!
ryam in previous post, not ryan.
It is rather miserable here.
Very few posts.
No topics of interest or speculation.
Must be time to buy!
Per my est, Order intake for Q3 to date suggests on pace for $9mil without any gov or military orders!
This really setting up nicely for a giant 2021.
And even this year will turn out ok, only question is whether Q3 goes over $10mil or whether Q4 goes over $10mil. One of them will!
But until then.....Rfp, sup, pnnt, dht, Ryan, evok, and a few more!
Best deal in whole world right now are Rfp calls. Buy them, any and all!
Now was that so difficult?
Sorry to post but I am curious as to each of your opinions on what you think Our CEO’s plan is for the company? He is no longer a young CEO.
He is past middle age.
Is this all he wants? A tiny company with low growth.
Or does he want to blow it up into a great big large company?
Or does he want to sell it soon to a bigger company?
Does he even know what he wants to have happen?
And why do we even have to speculate on this? It should be in their charter and progress against the goal be reported each quarter.
Thanks All!
I am tired. Time to retire from IHUB. Good luck all.
Robert Ferris is a terrible CEO.
Incapable of growing shareholder value.
Incapable of selling product.
Unwilling to communicate or promote the company.
Unable to conduct an uplifting motivating presentation.
He cannot judge people or talent.
Surrounds himself with 3rd tier talent.
Has a buddy named Matt Burlend who runs away and hides when customers visit.
Lies to shareholders and investing public by teasing a big Military contract for over a year now. Yet it never happens.
Keeps saying the company is stronger than ever yet that too is a lie since market cap and ev keep falling.
Employs scum like Manny laundry guy.
Mistake and Mis-steps is his #1 delivery.
Pulp is biggest chunk of revenue for the company and pulp had been at multi-decade lows for the last 10 months. However, it is just now slowly starting to creep upward.
Lumber is second largest revenue source and that is where all the profits will come.
Tissue is growing but still only a bit better than break-even.
Paper is a struggle, loses some money.
Looks like a big up day coming.
Eps will be over $1 in current quarter.
Stock worth $10 today and $15 by December 1.
5.50?....a dreamlike price as of today. My guess is that by Thanksgiving it will be there and heading higher. Might be significantly higher with a Sched 13 and Vote on new directors at a Special Meeting in early 2021. Just think what a real CEO could do!
His performance as CEO is dog shit.
Ferris started promoting/hinting at a big military contract in May of 2019, that is over 15 months ago. Since then he has brought it up about 5 times in conf calls, an interview, and conf.
Yet Nothing has happened. Apparently Ferris is comfortable misleading VTSI shareholders.
We truly have a special CEO.
It takes a unique set of abilities not to grow sales in the continuing aftermath of Floyd and BLM and riots.
A filing may or may not happen. I am certain of this!
Big fish slurping
Be happy someone is willing to sell.
The buyer will be here for a long time.
Needs lots of shares.
Seller will be crying before end of September!
I’d tell ya all who is buying ...., but then I’d have to ki...
Voting requires a wee bit of effort. Multiple clicks of the mouse or taps on your phone screen. No one wants to take a minute to do it. Better days are ahead! It will be refreshing.
Sleazy move by the CEO to move mtg up to Aug11th. He wanted to make sure votes were cast before Q2 results were made public.
This vote also shows how many shareholder longs we lost in the last couple years. At least a million shares in new hands. Or maybe many just didn't care enough to vote. At this point, these are all positives for long shareholders planning to remain for 6 months.
Pretty soft support for Ferris and BOD. Roughly 3.3million votes for and 1.65million votes against. Since 0.7million of the YES votes are Ferris Family that means only 2.6million cared enough to vote for him/his BoD. He really needs to produce. Times they are a changing!
You can find out in 60 seconds by calling Charlie or Matt at IR.
They are likely still manipulating the outcome.
Exactly right Schneid!
And that is exactly why the stock is a buy. Today it deserves a PS of 1. One year from now it will have transitioned back to a growth valuation with a PS of 5. Market cap $160mil. Stock price of $25.
I thank dlewisfl for his shares!
Buy shares now! The calvary is coming and even if they get lost, our fearless Ferris cannot screw up the opportunity of Q3, Q4 and 2021.
I bought lots more shares today. Thank you retail sellers. Off to the salt mines.
Stock now at 17.5cents!
Congrats Bob!
Well Teeroy, your great CEO has again managed to keep shareholder value sub zero. Stock price is 20cents. Same as 7 years ago.
As I listened to the cc, it sure felt to me as if the confidence level on getting a BIG military contract was higher than in past calls. In fact this is the first time Ferris talked about their recoil kits/mechanisms in conjunction with his military chatter. Bodes well.
Certainly possible. I just hope Q3 orders are at least 7 or $8mil but it could end up much higher. Then there is the possibility of a large military order or several and this could really take off for all the right reasons.....but, sigh, we've all been crossing fingers/toes for many years and IT never seems to happen.
There is also reason to believe Ferris is feeling some pressure to produce. Ok, I know he is getting pressure from multiple angles. Pressure is often a good thing as most people do their best work when pushed a bit.
I also do not think there is any way Ferris lets 2020 come in with revenue less than 2019. That means both Q3 and Q4 are each going to be better than $7million and very profitable.
At some point in the next few weeks, more and more buyers will come forward to buy since it will become apparent that some better quarters are ahead. Certainly enough to get the stock above $8 by mid-Nov report.
Q2 order intake was $5.9million! That IS a great number all things considered. Shows forward 12 months should/could be in the $30mil range.
Now that is a good question. I would argue that with interest rates sub5% they should be carrying net debt of about $5 or $6 million......assuming they know how to put it to work.
Headlines might be pretty good since beat consensus by a ton.
Better than I expected.
Better than most companies in Q2 vs year ago.
Wish we knew the July 31 backlog.
Difficult to do since private or buried within larger Org.
That said, it is easy to get close by knowing the employee count and multiplying by $250,000.
TI is the fastest growing.
Milo does have public numbers for 2019.
Meggit is the biggest.
It is good that there is competition and lots of it. Proves there is a viable lucrative market.
So HittinHeavy....,about how many shares have you bought today? Just curious. The volume is close to 2% of outstanding so I wonder who is the big buyer. Maybe we find out by who asks questions tonight.
That is a great list and all true!
But none of it matters if they cannot sell any.
They also do not help society if they cannot sell.
Although I suppose one does not have to grow revenue quickly for that list to have tremendous value to an acquirerer. Hopefully someone buys the company.
