trueMagoo: Nothing advertises 'small time' like admitting you can't short a stock. If you had any kind of money and a brain, you would be able to short it. But alas, you have neither, just another pathetic loser basher.
yes, trueMagoo and his buddies come to this site all day every day, allegedly for free, to warn unsuspecting investors that this company is a scam. They do this out of the goodness of their hearts. LOL!!
If you believe that, there's this bridge I'd like to sell ya... real cheap....
billpr: if this deal is as "insane" as you say it is, did you sell your holdings when it ran on the news? I'm just wondering if you're still holding since you do not believe this deal will work out for VTSI. If you are holding, WHY??
Warning new investors, you have no idea who is behind the alias of the posters aggresively bashing this stock on this board (and other boards). They continue to copy-and-paste the same message day after day after day while claiming to have no position. Rational people that look at a stock and do not like what they see walk away and look for other opportunities, people that post the same bashing crap all day every day with no position are the dregs of society; the quintessential loser, if you will.
LG: ROTFLMAO!!!!
You wrote: "Your not the sharpest knife in the drawer"
At least I can spell "you're" correctly. LOL! I just love it when a loser like LG tries to insult people, his stupidity comes shining through time and time again.
That's right LG, you are a loser. Either you lost money here and are extremely bitter, like so many other losers on iHUB and RB, or you are bashing this stock for a reason (short maybe? ... paid to bash?)
I bought a piddly 5k shares at .71 over a couple of days of trading the past few weeks, so how did I lose? ROTFLMAO......
Felix: You forgot the: "he's just going to say what he thinks the investors want to hear" excuse. LOL!!!
LG, I don't post here much but can tell right of the bat you are a loser. Posting a link to a translated website that ignores the major pieces of the original site, what a joke! LOL!! Why did you hide the original page and make it seem like THE TRANSLATED site was the website? As I said, you are loser and are part of the reason I stay away from message boards most of the time, it's numbnuts' like you and billcoln that ruin places like this.
Well LG, a 4th grader could have figured this out, but you couldn't: Here it is:
http://www.inversionesccs.cl/home.php
ROTFLMAO LG. I've seen knowledgeable 4th graders bash better than you. Why don't you go look at the actual Inversiones CCS website in Spanish, seems the Google translator left off a few 'minor' links. LOL!!!!
billcoln felling 16.2 million points of pain today... LOL!!!
billpr: You are entitled to your opinion that this deal is not good, for whatever reason. I think something that is bringing in significant capital/revenue without drastically increasing debt, something that significantly reduces VTSI's dependency on getting huge military contracts to succeed, something that gets us into other markets besides simulators, is a good thing. Now if we get that huge simulator deal with the military, that is serious gravy on top of this. Will be interesting in 2006 to see what this does to revs/earnings (assuming the deal goes through). Frankly, I'd be surprised if this deal got done as quickly as they think, mergers like this usually take months to close when many lawyers get involved and find all those little "showstopper" details.
billpr: Why do you assume I'm a Republican? Fact of the matter is I'm neither Democrat nor Republican. You can have your evil conspiracy greed theories, I personally do not think it's the case here.
PP: It was a remark that you clearly isolated for a reason.
When the stated explanation for the deal contains two elements and you make your ridiculous comment on one of those elements as if it's the only one..... like I said, ignorance, it's all yours. Glad you can chuckle so much at your own foolishness.
domen: You heading to Florida next month? I live near Tampa and may take a trip over to Orlando for the show.
CC should be interesting, let's see if PP, CB and the rest of the bashers have the guts to talk to him with their doom and gloom theories regarding this deal. Somehow I think they'll all have an excuse not to be near a phone during the call, just like last time. LOL!!
PaulP: Of course it's the stupidest remark TO YOU since you have taken it out of context. The original PR states:
"This acquisition fosters vertical integration for our IVR simulator components, allowing us to keep more of our production in-house, and also provides expansion into related high-technology electronics markets"
Kelly speaks of both reasons in two separate areas of his letter, you chose to focus on ONE of them without the other. Your post is typical of somoene with a bashing agenda, for sure.
PaulP: Answers.
#1 Why do you think this gigantic and totally and completely unforeseen circumstance happened?
It may have happened for the OBVIOUS reason that Kelly didn't want the future of VTSI to be so dependent on military sales. Anyone following this stock knew that without the big military deal they've talked about, the company would just keep scraping along to survive while diluting the stock just to keep the doors open. This looks like his attempt to bring in capital without having to be constantly selling stock.
#2 Do you see any strategic value to the mergers?
There may be minor synergies in that VTSI's units use some of the products manufactured by these companies, the real value is in a substantial increase in investment capital, assets, revenues (and hopefully profit which we have no idea at this point in time) while not significantly increasing debt. I believe the advertised numbers are: $3.5 million in investment capital, assets increase 9x, revenues increase 6x and debt only doubles. It adds DIVERSIFICATION to the business, last time I looked simulator only companies weren't doing too well, VTSI included.
#3 Why would VirTra essentially acquire companies that are 30 times its size, and why would they want to sell their companies for restricted bulletin board stock
For VTSI's answer - see #2. For the other companies, I know nothing about them so cannot speculate as to the reasons why. Maybe they're doing it for the same reason big telecom companies merge: they want to be a bigger fish as to not get killed by the bigger fish.
#4 Is it fair to your shareholders and your creditors to completely change the rules on them? Here they thought they were invested in a training and simulation company, and now they are in the EMS business, along with brokering circuit boards built in China. Is that the way to treat your shareholders and creditors?
This question is borderline pre-posterous. Who said they are changing the rules? VTSI is still selling simulators and now have diversified into another industry (assuming deal goes through), you make it sound like they did a complete switch. It looks like Kelly is doing what he thinks needs to be done for LONG TERM success. I notice that strategy worked quite well for GE, there is no synergy between many of their companies yet they are very successful.
I follow a company called American Commerce Solutions (AACS). They are a holding company that has a machine shop for industrial construction equipment (IMW), they acquired a fiberglass motorcycle trailer company (Chariot), and were working on getting a piece of a fiberglass recycling company (which shareholders correctly figured out was the former Amore fiber Core). Out of the blue, they announce the acquisition of an ENTERTAINMENT company (Crystal Clear Entertainment I think was the name), had absolutely nothing to do with any of their business or planned acquisitions. The reason? The entertainment company was bringing lots of cash for them to use in building their fiberglass operations in lieu of continually diluting the stock to stay in business. The deal eventually fell through and CCE was never acquired, dilution to keep the doors open continued unfortunately.
I also follow a company called Quintek (QTEK), they sold chemical-free microfilm hardware and aperature cards. The SEC busted their promoter for sending out a bogus PR and the CEO eventually resigned, I bought in under .04 when the new management team rolled in with a plan to sell the machines. Out of the blue, they decide to enter the BPO market while still selling the microfilm machines and aperature cards, the PPS went to a high of .26. They eventually had to dilute because they took the company over with no shares left to sell and needed cash to expand, the PPS has fallen under .10 again. Was it fair to the shareholders they decided to diversify and enter the BPO market when they thought the business was microfilm machines? Was that any way to treat the shareholders? Hell yes!!! The reason they expanded into the BPO market was because they probably werent' going to survive on selling their patented microfilm machine alone. Could be that with all the delays from the military, Kelly may feel they won't survive under these conditions and is being pro-active in making something positive happen for the company. That remains to be seen......
PaulP: You're the guy trying to claim Kelly is more interested in liquidity than PPS when he has shares he can't sell. LOL!!
No surprise, you two clowns pumping eachother. LOL!!
PaulP: But according to you, didn't Kelly get 2,000,000 shares for nothing? Now you're talking about paying 5 times too much for restricted stock you own?!?!?
Please try to keep your stories straight, man, you're confusing yourself....
Are you that big of an a s s, Paul? Who else posts here with the name Paul.... jeesh
To even suggest Kelly is more concerned with liquidity than PPS is ignorance at it's finest. To suggest that Kelly has nothing invested here is equally as ludicrous. I suppose if I had made these suggestions I'd try to deflect as much away from myself as possible by not addressing the issues, but by mentioning that someone used the 'New Message' instead of the 'Reply' button. LOL!!!
Felix: Wasn't this stock trading sub .10 for most of 2003? I don't know how you've managed your VTSI funds, it looks like you've had ample time to buy low if you have been trading it for years.
So Paul, are you saying Kelly would rather see the share price at .10 instead of .50 as long as the liquidity is there for him to sell when he can? LOL!! BOTTOM LINE: The higher the PPS, the more money he makes.
billpr: This may be lost on you, but the CEO of just about EVERY company on EVERY exchange stands to make a boatload more money than the average shareholder. It's in Kelly's best self interest to get the PPS as high as possible, so if he is truely the greedy bastard you say he is, then he will make you money too. You just need to know when to buy in and when to get out, same with every other stock on the market.
Felix: Any number of people could have bought this stock all the way down to around .105 or so over the past few months, profit taking on a run to .20 is a no-brainer. 'Cept CharlieBunny is too stupid to figure that out. He thinks anyone that owns VTSI posts here, bought near .40 and is a LONG. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
If you bought between .30 - .40, you've had plenty of time to lower that average, especially if you believe in the company.
ROTFLMAO Bunny.
Anyone who bought yesterday in the 14s, 15s, 16s, 17s or 18s could have profited today. Even THE OBVIOUS is too hard for you to figure out. I see you really went out on a limb predicting a PPS decline the day after a 35% rise. LOL!!
Unfortunately, you just can't help making an arse of yourself.
CB: The ULTIMATE Contrarian Indicator
Yesterday's close: .195
Today's open: .196
Yes, we sure will open LOWER than yesterday, ay genius? LOL!!!
right, Bunny. Great call on the late afternoon "sell-off" today. Funny how the price kept going up during the time it was supposed to be sold off.
You are worse than a joke, you're a horror show. LOL!!
CharlieBunny: You are much better at looking at a chart and telling people what happened than you are at looking at news and pontificating on what will happen. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Gonna be interesting to see what this cost VTSI.
$30,000,000 in revs next year for these three. Looks like we're not as dependent on the military now.
Sanmina Pres/COO leaving company.
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051024/nym125.html?.v=22
We know that ceres ... we just want to know when! eom
"While we are naturally disappointed that the 15-simulator sale we announced a year ago has been delayed due to budgetary concerns, we are pleased to advise that representatives of that agency visited with us at the recent IACP show, and informed us that the sale is very much still alive."
He said 'News" was coming tomorrow, he didn't say it would be VTSI news.
Another good call, CharlieBunny... ROTFLMAO!!!
"we shall see the price gadually go back to a dime over the next several hours
SirFelix: You watch this stock as closely as anyone, how can you say 200k volume early A.M. for VTSI is not significant? We usually don't hit 200k the ENTIRE DAY (haven't hit it for the last 10 trading days, in fact). I think either others "in the know" have seen this rumor on the Bloomberg system mentioned and are taking a small position, or people are just buying on ceres' post. LOL!!

You would think a deal like that would've moved FATS PPS, as of right now it is unchanged for the day with only 43k shares traded.
Looks like your only problem LOR is you bought too high! LOL! Sub .02 has always been the place to buy AACS.
Hefner has promised so much over the years that when he releases a PR about a potential deal, it's like the boy that cried wolf. The market does not believe him, it sees no added potential with 'potential' business. You can only fool the people a couple of times before they catch on.
Now if AACS was to actually sign this deal, the stock would move as cash flows would be significantly increased, that would bode well for Chariot since they can't seem to get financing.
