BigAl, thanks again for openness and civility. I have no idea what VHUB's filing schedule will be for quarterly reporting (whether informal or SEC-driven), though others on this board have used February 15 as a benchmark kind of date.

As regards how expenses would track against income, my belief - and I think Hosta may have just written much the same thing, though my phrasing will be more complex than his - is that there is a class of costs which is neither purely fixed nor purely variable. These "step-variable costs" kick in, for instance, when the company can't just pile more overtime on sales clerks, so they need to hire more of them, and then they need to hire more supervisors over those clerks. Within the next "relevant range" of sales activity, these costs will again remain fixed. Often these step-variable costs are classified as "growing pains."

There is one more concern I'd have in regard to this company, tracking back to last spring's pump and dump activity. I would wonder whether there might be some "shareholder derivative" suits being floated. I think the most common case is that there's no money or stock of any value left to pay any successful plaintiff, but if indeed VHUB does otherwise prosper, I wonder if this sort of litigation will emerge sooner or later.

Again, this is all within the context that all this discussion about the company and its stock is drawing more interest in both, and the "momentum investor community" will see how the stock has performed from December 31 on and believe that trends continue until something happens to stop them.
