something seems to be cooking
EGMI is acting suspiciously positively. Take a look. thoughts?
we're also missing jewish holidays. October was particularly difficult in 2008 with most holidays during weekdays.
how do you know what a selling day is? are we excluding thanksgiving? if so just that thursday or thursday and friday?
bring on an auto collapse. I welcome it with open arms.
if this is true i should pick up another 50k shares tomorrow
she got those for free!
what a cheapskate - I bought 35K shares at 0.13 - I should run this company!
haha u r just like me
LOL - I bought 35K shares this morning. I do my best DD after I already have a vested interest.
can you cut and paste what she wrote in quotes? not that I dont trust you. :)
Raw do you mind posting the email or forwarding it to me? Im surprised she said she is buying this week... isn't that inside information that we shouldn't know? I'd love to verify this by seeing the email cause I'd buy more shares right now if true!
nice! thanks!
haha im intimidated by women in positions of power so i cant call her. Im relying on my ever diligent investorshub staff :)
AYSI up 8% on heaviest volume since August 7th
Thanks for the try :)
1. she did buy but only 5K worth - if I was her Id put 100k down right now if I really believed in the company and cared about the stock http://biz.yahoo.com/t/73/6928.html
2. looks like alot of people are getting free shares with no cost basis - isnt that dilution? http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=VBDG.OB
3. I am not either but I assume one of the big factors why OTC stocks have been clobbered is the credit contraction as they typically rely on credit lines more than bigger companies. Maybe someone fears a risk of bankruptcy should some of their bank relationships go sour?
anyone else wanna take a hack?
Looks compelling - so why is the stock so cheap? There must be more than meets the eye... 3 lingering questions...
1. how come the CEO isn't buying shares?
2. are we facing dilution from options being given to employees?
3. what is the structure of the debt? any danger credit will be pulled etc?
for full disclosure I picked up 35K shares at the open this morning at 13 cents. If someone can answer me these questions I'll pick up another 65K shares.
AYSI is up. Maybe someone who had been planning to sell for a while but was waiting for liquidity to do so. Creates a perfect entry point. Up from here.
ARTW ZYXI VBDG EGMI
thats what id like to know
perfect entry point for AYSI
Insider buy - if this is as cheap as the CEO claims in the recent interview - she should buy a bunch of shares. something is fishy.
busy day for you Mike!
i think you should have another column with orders that exclude the ones anthem wont pay for.
AYSI - rather confident comment - wont be adversely affected. Nice.
Zynex Announces Increased Orders in November
Last update: 12/11/2008 9:15:00 AM
LITTLETON, Colo., Dec 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zynex, Inc. (ZYXI), a provider of pain management systems and electrotherapy products for medical patients with functional disability, announces an increase in its orders of 122% for November of 2008 compared to the same month last year.
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO, said: "We are happy to report our third-best monthly orders despite the short numbers of days we traditionally have in November. Orders in November 2008 were lower than in October 2008 because of the absence of doctors from their offices during the Thanksgiving week. The same effect of the holiday has occurred in past years."
Zynex received 2,584 orders for November of 2008 of which 163 were orders for devices that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is currently denying payments for. The corresponding numbers for orders were 1,260 and 176 in November of 2007 and were 3,177 and 264 in October 2008.

Debt - Cash... Yahoo shows 10 million in debt and 175K in cash. Anyone know the term and interest rate on these loans? Maybe VBDG is so low because some people are afraid some lines of credit will be pulled etc or recession will make it difficult to make payments. ??
okay looking at the volume and price point I guess you are right - not necessarily insiders or mystery shares being dumped on us - just no buyers. You'd think the CEO would buy some shares though.
okay I will accept your answer for now :)
Zynex just called me back. They will be releasing order #s "this week"
okay I hear you - but why is there so much sell-side liquidity on a stock with only 4 mil cap? And this board is buzzing. The amount of interest in this stock far exceeds many stocks I know that have market caps 10 times higher and that move much faster to the upside when there is good news because a lack of sellers. Something seems fishy - what is it?
I hear but one problem with sub-brands is that its expensive to maintain. This is one reason IACI ultimately broke-up. If you have nothing to tie all the brands together - the cost-savings are suspect and makes for a questionable business model. Your response?
I understand. Do you think perhaps the stock is undervalued because of investors like me not being able to see that asset value because its not readily visible?
I wonder why VerticalBranding doesn't create 1 overarching brand and website for consumers - so they can become loyal and order from a catalog or a central website etc. If they had that - it would make me much more excited about this company. What are the pros and cons against this and why have they chosen not to go that direction?
Hi Mike,
There has always been one thing that bothered me with this company. Where is the brand value? Or what is the underlying asset in the company that has value? Said another way - revenue seems to be driven by a bunch of distinct products that do not seem tied to a specific product type or technology or to a specific brand. Therefore there is a lack of visibility in long-term consistency of earnings... because they need to create product after product on a regular basis with no guarantee as to their success because the products are not linked to one brand with a loyal customer base.
I don't know much about retail but I could guess that perhaps the underlying value of the company is their relationships with large chains such as Bed Bath and Beyond... so the success of their model is not as much the popularity of a new product but moreso due to leveraging relationships with large retailers.
If I am right in that premise the next question is - how valuable is that? How married are retail chains to their suppliers? Are there long-term contracts? Is it hard to get your foot in the door and what ensures they stay there?
Again - this is all coming from an uneducated perspective so I apologize if these thoughts are out of line. But if they are - I'm curious as to why...
Ben
is this true? do you have a link for this?
there is a world of difference between ZYXI at 1.6x rev and VBDG at 0.1x rev. Seems too good to be true which sets off warning flags for me, I got into VBDG in the upper 20s over the summer and took a loss last month after not following it for a while. Im tempted to get back in but I think I need more answers. Any other theories?
Why is this stock so cheap?
There has to be more than meets the eye here. Dowe have dilution going on from options? high debt and risk of future dilution? Something doesn't add up. Anyone care to explain?
Please call Ladora Sanders at 303-703-4906 and ask her if monthly sales will be reported going forward. I left her 2 voicemails - maybe if a few more people call she will finally let us know whats going on.
where are the monthly orders?
Back in AYSI. Steel up - infrastructure in - any thoughts?
