I’m still here! Broke through once, but only 2 foot deep and I was close to shore. Sorta sucks that the ice is so crappy.
I still own a decent number of Vtsi shares but have sold some this week. I wonder if there will be some profit taking after Jan 1st?
It has been a fun market lately for small company stocks. Been buying Bdn, Hrtg, Bbgi, Cmls, Sup, Qipt, Gfgsf, Cato. Sup is my biggest holding, I would be buying that too but own too much. Ncsm is a great great buy but trading volume is nil. Enterprise value is zero! Crazy.
Yes, massive insider buy a few days ago and they are getting $5mil from empress deal.
I always forget to check this board. Yes I have been buying lots of shares. Even bought a few today. More great drill results. Looking to me like 2026 will be the year this gets sold.
And another thing - if Givens was functioning on all cylinders he would have had the company buy back the shares from Ferris and prompty retire those shares. If this is going to be a constant drip drip from Ferris, Givens needs to put an end to it.
Well said! The only positive for me is that I know the shares he sold are in smarter hands.
So Ferris selling 18000 of his 285000 shares is more important than the knowledge that BISim and VirTra are intimate. I just bought a lot more shares.

Crazy. Last nights PR was the most important in the history of the company (because of the now disclosed BISim relationship)….and the stock has not reacted? Crazy. I thought it would be pushing $12 on todays open.
Stupid me…just realized VBS is a BISim product.
WTF?…Why is a BISim guy quoted in a VirTra press release? See the PR just issued. I know that is where Givens came from but it still seems bizarre to me. Is it a tell that BISim will be buying VirTra soon?
I was hunting elk off grid out in MT otherwise would have replied sooner. To be fair, I have seen executives at other public companies make the same mistake. It is as if they do not believe in their own abilities. Good to see you posting again.
What the hey is wrong with that man? The company is finally, after 20+ years, on the verge of greatness and he sells a chunk of shares at fundamental valuation ratios that are the lowest (cheapest) they have ever been.
Compare PS, PE, Ev/ebitda, PB, etc. now verses at any time prior and the company is cheap now verses then…..and the brilliant COB can’t wait to pull the trigger to sell. This has got to irritate our CEO. Smoldering mad I would guess.
The one thing I would love to know is this: In the recently announced Q3, how much of the reported revenue was from orders received after July 1st and shipped before September 30th?
One can infer a guess based on reported backlog numbers but no way to know for sure.
I can’t believe these idiots issued the 8k a half hour before the market closed. What a low class move.
That said I am very happy with the numbers and what was said in the PR.
I did not like the content of the PR naming new sales guy Tony. I hate that he sold medical stuff since that is same as Mulcahy. I hate the talk about process and team building. Why not name the 3 little companies and their revenue numbers under Tony? Also am disappointed they went with an old guy rather than a hard charging driven 40 yr old.
I hope he is the right guy but I sorta doubt it.
Stock is a strong buy right now.
Last years Q3 was $4.9mil and a loss of almost $1mil.
Wow, you have suffered even longer than most of us. VirTra does check many boxes but until they acknowledge and believe and act like the Sales Org is the most import Group within their (and all) company, the most important box remains unchecked.
I was never a Muppets fan so I don’t know if I should feel insulted or complimented. I was sure happy to see your post though as I figured only two of us still owned shares….and then I wondered if that meant I owned 50% of this mess. Thank heavens I don’t!
Since no one here seems excited by this mornings PR, it must really be a nothing thing. No reaction from investors either.
Exactly.
Is this a product they could ship tomorrow?
Is it already in the hands of some customers?
Will it contribute meaningful revenue in Q4 or next year or five years from now?
Who is physically assembling the headsets?
The new product looks significant but the PR somehow makes it sound like a nothing burger. Is there $10 or $20mil of preorders? Why no endorsements by some big time police depts? No mention of application to military? I admit I am confused. Is this a big deal or simply a me too product so they can say….we got that too?
Where is the PR?
Most message boards are entertainment. What is different about this VirTra ihub message board is the fact that the company COB reads it. That is extremely uncommon. It is the only reason several of us post here.
Further, the themes several of us continually harp on are real. Obvious. True. And until recently, mostly ignored by VirTra leadership.
I still think the company suffers from a Sales Org mostly devoid of leadership and without even one exceptional sales person. The revenue number and rocky growth rate is proof. I also remain disgusted with the makeup and contributions (lack thereof) of the BOD. And a company unwilling and likely unable to provide forward guidance speaks volumes about their grasp/control of the business and whether or not it is investable.
But I still own some shares as I continue to see potential and believe the problems are easy to fix. They have made progress, especially since the Givens hire.
My fear is that if Q3 doesn’t come in over $10mil then it’s a sub $4 stock.
One problem is the macro market for tiny company stocks. It is the worst I have seen in 40 years.
Why buy VTSI when you can buy better companies and stocks at cheaper prices CEOs?
That said, VTSI sub $5 deserves a place in any portfolio.
Is Givens still CEO?
How would anyone even know the company still exists?
No PRs.
No insider buying.
No acquisitions.
No hiring of a Sales leader.
A stock that is falling from 8 to 7 to 6 to 5 to 4.
Would it kill these guys to put out something positive and uplifting?…or anything at all?
Maybe…..but maybe not. I think that more of this sort of stuff is no longer publicly available information. More and more expenditures and appropriations are being kept in the dark.
It take til end of October to know for sure.
Why can’t VirTra execs figure out how to buy shares? Ridiculous.
It’s like no one in the entire organization has a salesy or rah/rah bone in their body.
Top line matters more than bottom line. Revenue growth must accelerate. Once we see it happening we will know the Sales Org has been fixed.
New CEO? There is no new CEO.
Junk company, junk product.
Nice to see some good news on this front.
Even in this horrific August for small company stocks, I am surprised VTSI hasn’t risen well into 8s. Makes me wonder if the stock would be trading any differently if the last quarter was $7mil instead of $10mil.
CEO, cfo, cob…all should step up and each should make an open market buy of 10,000+ shares.
Right now is the time.
They just spilled their guts at conf call.
All big news is public.
Daily volume is high enuf to support.
You lost me on that post. I even just reread the PR, it was fine.
VTSI is $7 today rather than $10 simply because of the ugly ugly stock market right now. Every small company stock that had risen a bit in June/July is now going down, down, down. It’s been that way since about Aug 3rd. Just brutal.
VTSI stock will be fine and spectacular verses the market.
Good to see you post! One thing that will help Jlo is that his teammates seem to like him. The fans too. It is SO refreshing not to see Rogers out there.
I think you had mentioned Longboat Key to me. It does look special. FL prices are still a little crazy, but not sure they will ever fall much.
Not too late to again make money on Vtsi, I bet it trends up several dollars over the next few months. My Mom is 87, I have some of her $ in it.
Yes, there should be a big bump up in cash.
I just bought more shares.
The AR number will drop a bunch with the next report. It was explained (poorly) during the Q/A.
He simply moved to a more comfortable chair. Now he can focus on what he enjoys and is best at…..innovation, big picture, cto sort of stuff, etc. And Chairman of the Board is still a very powerful role.
By the way….last years Q3 had revenue of $4.9million. Will VirTra ever have another sub $10mil quarter? My guess is No.
Bookings in Q2 were $8.4million. This what the CFO stated during her portion of the cc. The complete transcript is on Seeking Alpha now.
