Good.
In other news, here’s a contrarian voice on the wisdom of Federal standards.
"The best policing is sensitive to the different concerns of the diverse communities it reflects, protects, and serves. There is nothing prudent about forcing one-size-fits-all federal standards on it.”

"It is smelling more like a lousy $17/share buyout each day."
I laughed. Not so much loudly, but with deep emotion.
Fishhunter, you babbler for the ages; at last you gave me pleasure.
Is Vitra afraid to succeed? An interesting idea.
Is one thing to escape debt; is another to move forward.
Bob Ferris: Let that God talk reflect how you live.
I'm back in at my limit, all in Roth accounts. I suspect that if you tilt after windmills, the windmills will give you and your shareholders a lot of energy.
Could Virtra use the shares to buy another firm in a way that is accretive to earnings? I suppose that's the most hopeful take possible.
Might the inclusion of insiders suggest that a deal is almost in place and that the listed shareholders are comfortable with it?
One day I was going through security at the airport and decided not to go through the machine. The officer took me aside and patted me down, rolling his hand down my spine. It was not unpleasant.
When he finished, I wanted to show appreciation and respect. However, I didn't realize what the words would sound like.
I said, "Thank you for your service."
I accept your apology.
By the way, I'm neither a friend nor employee of Bob Ferris. I met him once and have rarely found someone as comfortable in his own skin as he is.
The firm was once greatly in debt. He led, and it no longer is. He's a smart man with a religious inclination to some extent. The more that that inclination is realized, the better off he and the business will be.
Is Fish right, that what's needed is a focus on day-to-day contacts with and sales to police; and that pie-in-the-sky military contracts are unlikely?
War is likely, and the product line is good. Patience.
For what it's worth, I have an order in at 1.80 just in case. I don't expect it to fill.
Thanks much, Twister.
Am grateful just to get an emotionally coherent answer.
Twister, I like your interpretation.
I've been a tranche short of my full-strength Virtra investment for several weeks and just liberated some cash, which I don't want to lose.
Virtra always made sense to me, as did Bob Ferris, though he might make more sense if he were looking for a buyer.
A military contract or two would make all the difference; and suddenly.
At what price would you invest more of your own money?
Isn't this the moment to admit...?
Matt Burlend's lack of stock purchases was savvy.
Gosh! Why are you so sure that the whole market isn't going lower?
Every dollar not spent on a buyback over the last month or so was brilliantly saved.
From National Review Online, March 6, 2020: "Reform Police Training -- Why It's a Conservative Cause."
“The average recruit gets less than ten hours of training in de-escalation techniques; 34 states [ do not require ] training in de-escalation....
"We need real, sustained de-escalation training in police academies and among active officers. Departments should accept that, within reason, the onus is on the officer to defuse potentially explosive incidents, slow the pace of police–civilian encounters, and take the time to resolve encounters before they turn violent.

If my wife finds out about my margin trading, I won't have stones at all.
Yes, you're right: a margin call.
Maintenance call; sold 1000 at 3.52. Congratulations to the buyer.
Am intending to take it back after a month, if commerce continues.
Are you his son?
You're a mystery to me and maybe to others.
Do you need something to do? Why are you following this board at all?
They're looking for an "internal" sales manager, by which they seem to mean "international."
I guess someone left. However, you can see the number of postings as bullish.
I'll leave them a message about the bad wording.
In a 5-minute search, I couldn't find a source that tells the date of this broadcast. Can you?
What am I, chopped liver?
Maybe the rise is a result of a general pattern (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-12-17/lagging-mid-caps-about-experience-important-bullish-breakout); or maybe the rise anticipates a massive increase in virtual-reality contracts by the Feds; or maybe the rise is from chartists; or maybe the company has succeeded again in some way.
I've bought all that I will buy; and hope to have the fortitude to not sell whatever the reason. The combination gives me a calm pleasure on days like this one.
Is your belief that the market price tells us the intrinsic value of a company?
Is your belief that a lack of an immediately overwhelming price increase means that the company is danger of bankruptcy?
Bill's comment might reflect a frustration at his not having re-entered at the bottom or might be a way to gain a lower price for a later purchase. Whatever the reason, the comment and your subsequent "like" don't make a lot of rational sense outside of a tactic.
Bob sounded at the top of his game and without hype. For example, he suggested a good fourth quarter while tempering expectations of big near-term gains in the driving simulators.
I think about the weakness in this investment, plus the ways in which the world needs this sort of offering. "What am I missing?" I ask. "It should work. It makes sense."
Will there be a growing match of possibility and execution?
If you haven't listened, it's worthwhile, even inspirational:

Many people make impulsive decisions based at least in part on message-board posts. Such decisions might not result in a lot of volume, but the motivation is present even for such a robust and virile mind as mine.
OT: I propose the following changes:
1. Amend the Constitution to allow prayer in public schools.
2. Weaken the reach of Federal "Civil Rights" law in relation to sex so that civil society can respond to the kind of disasters that you mention. In a couple of hundred years, a wiser and more church-going population will have removed "sex" from such laws altogether.
3. Explore how best to reduce the "no fault" status of divorces.
4. Strengthen borders.
5. Create a system of selective immigration.
6. Remove Bill's OT post and this one.
"Virtra-fy yourself, Forth Worth. You too can use the most realistic training capabilities in the world."
"Prevent the outcome and lessen your liability."

Do you know of a publicly traded company where the Board of Directors has a lesser role?
Even if it never appeared before, the content seems boilerplate.
It's almost as if someone wants your shares cheaply.
The after-hours trades were all at $11.97; and then came one at $11.65, for four (4) shares.
17:09:05 $ 11.65 4
16:48:21 $ 11.97 300
16:18:59 $ 11.97 428
16:18:58 $ 11.97 51
16:06:56 $ 11.97 22
16:00:03 $ 11.97 921
16:00:03 $ 11.97 54
16:00:03 $ 11.97 100
16:00:03 $ 11.97 1,016
16:00:00 $ 11.97 850
Or maybe someone is hedging their short bets.
Someone's sharp, someone's dull.
Who among us knows the future?
Could you give me a way of thinking about the Mylan deal? How is developing DAXI related to developing a Botox similar? Sounds like two products that compete.
My understanding of this is only from the following, now widely read article:
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4275579-revance-wrinkle-inducing-year-creates-opportunity
A Friday.
is that meaningful to you, dear fellow sufferer?
The Virtra web site has almost nothing about driving simulators. Is the product uncompetitive, despite the initial sale?
"He has lied to us many times."
It sounds as if you are publicly accusing the head of a publicly traded company of having made material misrepresentations.
By "lied," you might mean over-optimistic statements that are defensible as such. Or you might mean what you seem to mean.
"Many times." I don't know what you're talking about. Could you give details?
Likely all of us are surprised by the stock price. If this downdraft is a continuation of the Russell Index selling, the firm might be right to wait to buy-back shares; and its lack of buying might be in our long-term interest.
If the firm succeeds and gets back on the Russell, we can hope to experience the updraft, too.
Seems that Roth Capital just initiated coverage with a target price of $6.

I gather that the Egleston firm is the original one, and the company you've listed saw the first press release and is trying to take the business. There is no grand "investigation" beyond that.
I half wondered if your posting implied your approval of the second firm, but you probably meant no such thing.
I suggest that aggrieved parties stick with Egleston.
