VirTra Inc (VTSI)

[Ellington]

i don't where else i would get the money to buy at these levels, so i'll tell you my thinking.

first, a guess. the board wants to divest of its simulator business in favor of the high-level electronics that are involved in the merger. the board does not want to say this and will continue to sell the simulators (which i believe are among the best) and will try to sell the technology on the strength of orders, which may be primarily international.

KJ is a good guy, but was not realistic. Perhaps as an investors-hub buddy, he would add the insight of a chastened man. Ferris, however, might be someone extraordinary; I met him once for a few moments and came away impressed with his intelligence and with how comfortable he was in his own skin. i really felt that i had not met someone like him for quite a while. if you are someone who buys stock for management and are willing to take a risk on a young guy, you could do worse than buy into Virtra at less than 6 cents.

another reason to buy (i believe) is that with the merger, a shareholder will take the company out of its relationship with Duchess.

finally, the companies in the merger are doing well, and the Chinese presence cannot hurt.
