It is unreal. His lack of action and his walking away from the company and its shareholders in the midst of a massive opportunity is really terrible. And for the BOD to sit back and do nothing is equally terrible.
At least this way the clown doesn’t get more votes!
Not one PR since May12th!
And since then the country has exploded and everyone including the President are talking police training and de-escalation.
It is as if VirTra and Ferris have gone intentionally dark. Why?
And an S3 offering up all insider shares.
Ferris is doing everything possible to tick off shareholders. Why?
Those of you like maybe Teeroy and Twister and perhaps HeavyHitter who still feel good about VirTra and Ferris, I would sure appreciate your reasoning.
The biggest positive I see is the better trading volume. But stock is still only 18cents! Very sad.
Another positive are the new shareholders and the higher share numbers for a few old diehards. But no one has filed that they are over 5%? Though there are ways around that....snicker snicker.
Another topic....Where is CEO Ferris? AWOL?
And turn off the TV , it is a poison worse than the virus.
And use math. The virus numbers are tiny and most don’t even know they have it. So if you don’t know you have it, do you have it?
VTSI up 10cents after hours on big volume....2shares!
Computers having fun I suppose.
I can feel a tell all PR tomorrow.
Your world is different than the one I see everyday. In the Midwest it is business as usual. In the entire US, construction is still roaring! If used properly masks can help but so many people do not use correctly and end up touching their faces more often than otherwise.
Think about how much more efficient the virus has made many companies with work from home and knowing for sure what is essential. And about 97% of consumer spending still must happen because we all eat and live in a coveted shelter.
If your friends are dieing that is terrible and sad but if they are over 78 then it might be time based on actuarial charts and such.
As far as sims, you need to understand that VirTra DOES NOT sell sims. VirTra sells training. Big difference and training is in high demand. Selling training now to PDs should be like selling ice cream in July in Florida.
That is actually a valid question. By now, it is crystal clear that each person on the Adv Board were mislead and taken advantage of by Ferris. He selected each in order to exert some level of control over them. He succeeded as he was able to keep his current BOD intact and fend off we the pesky shareholder.
One would think that guys like Jlawyer and Coach would be smart enough to realize they were used.
That should result in a renewed effort to oust Ferris, but will it?
I was quite serious about the risks of having an all white, all male BOD. That is just plain stupid in today’s culture and an unnecessary risk.
I obviously do not have all the answers or complete answers. My point is that it would be nice for VirTra to be proactive in getting sales. I also understand BLM is a double edged sword but it has become very mainstream with a still forming management structure. There should be a way to creatively work with these people to the benefit of all. I also know it would not be easy but it might be worth a try. Nothing to lose at this point.
Think about the terrible decisions Ferris is making. It is really unbelievable. Same BOD that has delivered NOTHING to shareholders! Failure to take advantage of favorable selling environment. Failure to provide public updates. Issues an S3 indicating he wants out! What a terrible decision.
Ferris must be removed as CEO.
This is my logic (or lack thereof):
City Councils typically move slow however they are capable of moving very quickly when confronted with an upset public.
The most powerful disrupter is BLM and they can make any city council act in a big hurry.
VirTra fits perfectly with what BLM is selling.
Can you imagine how powerful a VirTra/BLM partnership could be?
Ferris needs to reach out and bring them in. Appoint one to BOD.
Can Our CEO grasp what is so obvious?
Can he adapt?
Can he get his head out is his.......
Let’s get BLM focused on VirTra corporate.
No such thing as bad publicity!
All male. All white. What a stupid move in the age of BLM and MeToo.
How can Ferris be this disconnected from today’s reality?
Al least I have more than enough votes to completely offset his.
Amazing. At this rate, I'll have over 7% pretty soon. Sheep.
17cents! Way to go Ferris!
What saddens me more than anything is the absolute gutlessness of several other large VTSI shareholders. Last October we had the chance to place a slate of directors on the BOD and when it became time to sign (literally) on the dotted line they wimped out. What a horrible decision.
That is sort of the point Ellington. Today is no different than any day in the last 12 years. Stock is at a depressing level. Company performance in terms of revenue and eps growth is poor. We have a CEO who does not communicate honestly with shareholders. We have a company unwilling to do the straight forward work of selling product.
All the hopes for $8 or $10 or $50 are the same now as 12 years ago. They did not materialize then and perhaps never will.
So you are right, it is about emotion. I am sick of it and am moving my money to other stocks. I will keep a few shares just to follow along I suppose.
Truly sad day for VirTra, VTSI, and it’s shareholders. The bottom line is that we do not have a BOD and CEO capable of stepping up to the moment and driving growth. The CEO also is unable to sustainably increase share price. There is no reason to own the stock. I am selling. Will do so slowly as to minimize harm.
Well Amen! That is helpful. My fixation is over. Off to the lair of the walleye.
Until you say you are not CEO Robert Ferris you have denied nothing.
Your previous post again shows you are unable to do so.
Remember this Twister. A shareholder is an owner of the company. BOD serves at the pleasure of the shareholders. The CEO serves at the pleasure of the BOD.
You have yet to deny that you are CEO Ferris. I have asked you this directly two different times and you refuse to deny that you are CEO Robert Ferris.
I also bought a few just above $4.
20cent stock again Twister! Your CEO buddy would seem to be a bit outmatched by the opportunities in front of the company. He appears unable to capitalize on the greatest nationwide market the company has ever seen. He seems unable to close a big military deal. He continues to mislead the public and VTSI shareholders (S3). Remarkable at every level.
$1000 for your real name Twister!
Looks like someone gave up and dumped their last shares.
It takes a CEO with super special talents to turn the nationwide focus on police training into rotten stock performance!
It takes 5 minutes to open a Fidelity account and another 5 minutes to transfer in some money. They are the best. I have accounts with about everyone but keep moving more and more to Fidelity.
CEO is up early today!
Oops, huge misread. Looks like breakdown to $1.80 by noon. Oh well.
Looking like a $8 close today. Huge breakout up and over $5 is coming. Finally!
That’s the spirit!
And you are wrong about the dollar!
$1 gets you a half gallon gas,
A half gallon of milk,
A cheeseburger,
A mcchicken sandwich,
A large soda!,
Half an RFP share,
You can leverage that $1 at 20 to 1 at any bank right now.
Nat gas and Propane dirt cheap.
These are awesome times. Dollar is STRONG!
I’m just giddy today because every stock I own was golden. INO, SUP, RFP....and about 15 more! Then I got to thinking about the truly great job our BOD and CEO are doing. VTSI will be a $50 stock pretty damn soon. 100% certain me thinks. Go Bob!
Another very nice day of accumulation.
I bet our shareholder profile has changed a lot.
Can see it by the lack of posting here. Many are gone.
Typically happens before big stock moves.
Ferris is a savvy CEO. Strong firm steady hand on the controls.
What sort of fool sells a stock for 1/3rd of fair value?
The rich get richer, the pretenders get poorer.
Perfect example Ardly. Why are they sending that email to you and I? That should be targeted at buyers of product. Yet another example of Ferris not having a clue about the difference between stock buyers and customers.
22cents is current share price!
Pathetic.
Ok, so what compelled computer A to trade 37 shares premarket and then to trade 1 share premarket?
INO will be a $100 stock by July 1st.
And it will still be a buy at that point.
Twister and Teeroy and other owners, what is your opinion of Ferris’ current focus/priorities?
Nice update this am!
Bodes well that they care enough to issue the PR.
Q2 numbers ugly but Q3 will be back on track.
I’m pretty excited by how this is trading. Looks like strong smart manipulative accumulation. But none of it matters to me because my foundation is always what the company is worth.
I should stop tweaking Ferris but until he starts acting the part -CEO- I will continue.
Maybe tomorrow I will share with you possible titles for the book Ferris is writing (or not). Stuff like:
“Ferris....A Wheely Ok CEO”
“A CEOs guide to making your company invisible”
“What is a shareholder?”
Another day and no press release.
Another day and no national TV interview.
Another day and no NYTimes or LATimes or big time article.
Another day an no big Military announcement.
It is as if Ferris is doing everything within his power to hide the company from the investing public. First thing he has done well in a long time.
