I suspect that they believed they would be doing much more business now than they are, so the costs of uplisting would be relatively smaller than they now would be. If that is the case, they could just say so though: "Well, we didn't grow like we thought we would. Uplisting at this size would not be worth the cost."
I really don't think anyone is day-trading VTSI in the traditional sense - there isn't enough volume to make it worth the time even if you are trading commission-free.
"But there is that $2M contract somewhere in the future"
You do realize the volume of business they've been doing? A one time $2 million contract wouldn't make a huge difference.
"Could not even get a quorum when the big cheese controls over 10%"
You can't use that as a gauge since there was nothing worth voting on.
"He would have had to buy every share for sale for last year"
More like for the last four months, assuming none of the volume is counted twice. Still, that would be a lot of buying, so your point holds.
And if he did, he did it very patiently.
There is not much on offer, but if the price goes up another penny the offers will show up.
1Q should be coming out soon. Perhaps moderately good news has leaked.
Ameritrade as well. Obviously they're all drawing from the same incorrect source.
I don't think a one-at-a-time sale to an individual would be much different from a one-at-a-time sale to an institution.
It certainly appears that someone is trying to buy slowly without driving up the price. That might lead me to think that someone knows something, but when this has happened in the past it usually turned out to be nothing.
"Also, let's put the company up for sale. I be fine at 15 cents per share."
I'm half expecting an offer (probably 10 cents) from one of the companies that primarily does combat vehicle sims.
I think you mean three years. If you bought five years ago, you'd be up 150%.
Sure, but look at the volume. The shape of the chart isn't decided by any "group sentiment", it's decided by one or two people who may decide to buy on a hunch or sell because they need the cash. Even if you believe in charts, they can't possibly apply to a stock with such low volume.
As far as I know, the public were never made aware of the details of that agreement. It's something I'd still like to know, even if it is no longer in effect.
Fibonacci-schmibonaci. The only way to find out where resistance is would be to start buying, and nobody has done that for a long time. I suspect that if I wanted a million shares in the next week, I could get them at 6 cents and under.
Right, the tax loss selling has ended but there is still no buying interest, thus the huge gap.
It goes to show how much this stock has deteriorated when $12K worth on the ask is considered "big time" (I'm not making fun of you, that is a big ask these days), and probably won't even sell any at a few ticks above the bid.
Saving the loss to use against future gains could be beneficial if you're holding sure gains and/or expect your top tax rate go up significantly, but if I had significant gains without any carry-over loss to cancel them out, I'd be tempted to sell.
Eventually there may be little difference between the two markets, at least as far as virtual range systems are concerned. If you simulate a real world range well enough, then that is good enough, and the high-end won't be much different from the consumer version.
Obviously their costs have dropped dramatically. I would expect the previous rapid growth in the simulator market to accelerate further now that prices are heading below the big-ticket-item range. As prices drop, I think VirTra will be in trouble if they don't start selling to the general public. It is likely that whoever dominates the non-video-game civilian simulator market will eventually dominate the LE and military markets.
Chart-painting today in both directions, at 12:30 and 3:00. These chart painters need to learn to wait for one minute to close.
I wish Google and Yahoo finance would show a price-weighted average of trades instead of closing price in their long range charts, though that may be technically difficult.
The previous patent was for a method of training using threat-fire. This one is for the system itself. These are totally different things.
I've said it before, but I wonder how many casual potential investors go to Yahoo or Google finance, see the 0 EPS, and just move on.
New individual investors probably go to yahoo or google finance, see the 0 EPS shown there, and move on without investigating.
Lack of news. Lack of interest as usual.
Just because something's not patentable doesn't mean you can't get a patent for it, it just means it will be difficult to defend. Microsoft attempts to patent everything they do, whether obvious, based on prior art, or directly copied (BlueJ).
In this case the patent application is probably for something very specific and not the whole general system described in the article. It's also probably not patentable if all prior art were made known to the patent examiner, but it will probably be granted.
It was more than one person.
What really matters is a significant number of shares visible on the bid or ask for level II, and that spread is .057 to infinity, and that's being generous with only 70k visible at .057 and above. Sure, there are probably larger hidden offers, but the casual investor is going to look at the meager amount that they can verify and move on.
I'm not saying it's not something they do, just that I don't think it is very effective, and certainly far less effective than focusing on officer safety.
Well, there are some tech companies that have separate engineering and management tracks, and where an engineer can be earning more than their manager(s).
In my experience though, most have an "it can't happen to us" mentality, until it happens to them. They don't think about safety in the same way.
I don't think pds ever really try to figure out the risk/reward on something like a training sim in terms of lawsuit costs, at least not until they've been sued successfully multiple times. What they do probably look at are their own damage costs, so if a cop had been shot in this case you would have more of a point.
50K just sold at .506, skipping the visible 100K buy orders at .051 and .0511.
Upward would be my guess, but that is fairly irrelevant to the SP. I expect profits to be way down.
It means not everybody is "afraid to buy or sell before the audit".
Somebody just sold.
Not really a "flurry", just one sell order, two previous buy orders, and one new buy order coming in to mop up the rest.
It's an interesting phenomenon. There has been no element of surprise for many years, yet competitors have not equaled the quality of VirTra's simulators, even though their technology has remained somewhat stagnant. Along those same lines, I have expected a buyout or true partnership for the last several years, since that should be cheaper than catching up.
It was about 3.3 million, IIRC.
"Integrate into the global marketplace", sheesh. That could mean anything or nothing.
