"Welcome to The Home Depot...
allow me to show you our printers"
Dear Cutting-Edge Investor,
Just last week, the world's largest home improvement retailer announced it would begin selling high-tech 3-D printers in its stores and on its website.
UPS began using these machines for its own customers last year.
The obvious question is: WHY?
Why are these billion-dollar companies experimenting with this nascent technology?
Perhaps an even better question is: just how large will this emerging market be that these companies are desperate to be the first customer-facing entities you associate with this new technology?
The answer (explained in the video linked below) may surprise you.
But here's the best part:
The opportunity to profit from this transformative technology has the potential to make early investors millions.
That's why The Motley Fool is releasing this stunning investor alert video - to help individual investors like you jump on the 3 stocks that get you the biggest piece of the action.

VirTra Releases 2014 Second Quarter Financial Results
Tempe, Arizona (August 15, 2014) -- VirTra Systems (OTC Pink: VTSI), a leading provider of firearms simulators to military, law enforcement agencies and other organizations, today announced the release of its 2014 second quarter financial statements. The financial statements are available on VirTra’s website and here .
Financial Summary:
· Net Sales were $2.1 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.5 million, or 34%, compared to the previous year’s second quarter sales of $1.6 million.
· Gross margin for the second quarter 2014 was 54% of Net Sales, compared to 68% last year. The drivers for the decrease are primarily due to client paid customization projects recorded in Cost of Products Sold.
· Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1.1 million in Q2 2014 decreased 11%, from $1.2 million in Q2 2013. As a percent of revenue, SG&A was 50% for Q2 2014 compared to 76% in Q2 2013. The decrease is mainly due to a portion of SG&A resources assigned to client paid customization projects.
· Income from operations increased $0.2 million in Q2 2014 to $0.1 million, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in Q2 2013.
· Through June 30, 2014, the Company used $1.4 million in cash from operating activities to fulfill orders secured by deposits. Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at the end of Q2 2014, down from $2.4 million at December 31, 2013.
· The Company has no outstanding balance due on its line of credit as of June 30, 2014.
Bob Ferris, Chief Executive Officer of VirTra, commented, “Recent large international projects involved substantial investment in new technology and a major commitment of man hours, which will continue throughout the balance of 2014. The projects have pushed VirTra’s products to new levels of capability. VirTra is expanding its scope and pursuing numerous national and international sales.”

Seems to be coming back now that investors are digesting his comments.
Walmart distribution ctr comment was very positive IMO
There was no need to say what they were "NOT"going to do,unless he just felt like squelching the hype.
Why be negative when you don't have to be.Never heard of a company stating what they are not going to sell.
I believe you should inform the public what your products are.
Can you imagine Walmart saying "We,re not going to sell such&such,but bedding is on sale this week LOL
I think most investors here shared UKs sentiment who stated over&over again that automobiles were not in our immediate future....Too much opposition from big oil.

“Our growth opportunity is based on our market potential and our market potential is driven by our product line. Today, I’m pleased to announce the successful third party testing of the most comprehensive expansion of our product capabilities. It is very timely to add these new products at a point when effective firearms and use of force simulation training is profoundly needed to help maintain stability throughout the world with the least possible loss of life,” said Bob Ferris, CEO at VirTra.

Does anyone here have any samples of any grey company stocks that actually sell for their companies worth?Surely with the increased sales here this company is worth a WHOLE lot more than the current PPS indicates.
If my math is correct.. 5.95 mill shares expects to generate $317 mill,that's $53.28 PPS.So,why is it selling below that right now??
Nosebleed??Oh come on...the long weekend just started,I'm not that high yet.Just trying to do me one better on that humour thingy,aren't ya'.I loved it,made me smile )

LetterCEO
Letter from the CEO
Ten years ago, VirTra engineers put the finishing touches on the world's first multi-screen simulator capable of using photorealistic video across multiple screens, the V-300™. At the same time, VirTra engineers also created the world's first electric return fire training tool - the patented Threat-Fire™. Individually, these were incredible advances in realistic simulation training, but when combined, they were a giant leap forward for the simulation industry.
VirTra defined a whole new class of superior situational awareness and judgmental use of force simulation, led by our immersive 300-degree, V-300™ Simulator. I am eternally grateful and deeply humbled by the contributions of VirTra's employees, customers and stakeholders who cared enough about trainees to invest in pushing the standard of effective training to higher and higher levels. Thank you!
As our list of talented employees and customers grows, and we continue to build on the foundation of 21 years in the simulation industry, our promise of improving effective simulation training has never been greater!
Sincerely,
Bob Ferris - CEO, VirTra

V-Marksmanship™ Additions
VirTra's software team made many advances to our state-of-the-art marksmanship software. Several of the improvements are "under the hood" and both enhance performance while adding training flexibility. Along with maintaining highly realistic ballistics, we added support for wireless weapon integration and upgraded the tracking solution just to name a few improvements.
Also completed this quarter is the addition of a large assortment of new targets, some of which are shown below.
New targets for V-Marksmanship™
multi-incident
World Leading Active Shooter Training
Simulation training is not just about incredible simulator hardware - VirTra's content team continues to ensure our training exercises are the best in the world. At VirTra, we routinely incorporate multiple training objectives into each scenario. For the customer, this multiplies the benefit of each minute spent in the simulator, and requires trainees to handle what feels like a real life situation. VirTra's Multi-Incident Scenarios are incredibly challenging, in-your-face realistic, and something you have to experience firsthand. Click on the video below to learn more about Multi-Incident Scenarios.
Multi-Incident Scenario Video Teaser

VAuthor
V-Author™ - Get What You Want
VirTra's content team captured many green screen assets for use in the general V-Author™ library. Also, VirTra was contracted to produce some custom interactive V-Author™ characters for a customer. V-Author™ can often provide high-realism with quick scenario creation for unique customer requirements.
V-Author™ enhancements: support for less than lethal weapons, area-of-effect, and advanced hitzones.
In addition to growing the content library of V-Author™, VirTra invested in adding customer requested software features. During this quarter, V-Author™ received a huge upgrade with the addition of: support for all of VirTra's weapon systems - including less than lethal support, real time statistics tracking, multi-background support, and performance improvements. V-Author™ now has advanced area-of-effect capabilities so simulated tear gas acts appropriately, affecting an area that grows over time and then decays. Enhanced debrief capabilities are next on the improvement list, but if you have a particular idea for a V-Author™ feature, please contact VirTra.
Safety
Safety in Training
We cannot overstate the importance of safety when it comes to training. That is why we have created a CO2 Safety Manual for our customers as a reference for safe practices. Even if you are not yet a VirTra customer, we encourage you to review the safety guidelines to help avoid accidents. Implementing proper safety measures are well worth the time and discipline - BEFORE an accident occurs.
Grows
VirTra Staff Grows
VirTra selectively hires people who are at the very top of their profession. During this quarter we hired several new and incredible software engineers. VirTra's success is largely based on the results generated by our talented staff - which is now even stronger!
Finance

Just received CEO letter via E-mail
Right now Ihub has more current trade info than TDA.They're still stuck @ 22 mill .15 PPS.Doesn't say much for the brokerage IMO
Noway...because you know who bought @ .17&18 has already got a sell in for .25 or .30..not bad for a 30% profit in 1 hr.
I was under the impression the offering was for 15 mill.Now we are talking 22.6 with a 30 day option of an additional 3.4 mill for a total of 26 mil.Am I reading this wrong??
Congrats to all the longs who took advantage of todays gift.I didn't quite get the LOD but scarved another 1K @ 6.87.Few months from now that ought to be just peachy )
Well,actually it's not a crime to go solar but one is punished with extra fees.

Right now the shorts are winning,even on this board.They,re all focusing on the negative aspects of the CC to promote their own agenda.And of course by human nature,herd mentality is causing weak hands to run for the hills.To me the positives far outweighed the negatives.But that's just me and I have certainly been wrong in the past.Vanguard funds increased their Plug holdings last Dec.along with some other institutions.To me,this is a ground floor opportunity and I,m sticking to my guns.
