It's been fascinating to see the responses to my post #2410. So let me take care of business here before calling it a night. First, I think it's a privilege, not a right, to post here, and the only way to exercise that privilege is to be courteous to all, whether in agreement or disagreement. And so, Hostastock, that notorious first sentence of my last paragraph is one I'd ask you to read again, or let me translate it right here and now:
I don't know you (which is my loss), and I had no idea how much background you have - at least I didn't until you told me in your response. I didn't want to be unfair to you in either direction, either by presuming too much or too little background on your part. ...and I don't claim to be "that intelligent"; if I had been more intelligent, perhaps I would have accomplished more in my career, and perhaps I might not have restricted myself to the non-profit sector.
Regarding my speculating on the future of the company, I would have imagined that the bulls would be welcoming additions to their list of how investment in VHUB might pay off. I believe that the greatest skill in the company right now is in product development, and that it is at least somewhat likely that an established company would buy the company just to get hold of that skill. I appreciate the response that Big Tobacco might not be the acquiring company due to different profiles, yet some of the large traditional tobacco companies do have a toe-hold into e-cigs (don't ask me to go research which ones, as I've forgotten what I've read awhile ago).
Regarding starting a business being different from buying a house as regards the debt/equity topic, I'll grant you that I cannot at this moment come up with a more fitting example. I'll sleep on it.
Finally, back to reviewing Cerp's response to my earlier post of the day, I appreciate the case you are making for the stock currently being undervalued. ...and I certainly appreciate the reality that the float is so low, even before reckoning into the calculation how much stock is being held by the long-term holders who post on this discussion board. So even a little good news will go a long way as regards boosting the stock. I'm only saying that it will be really helpful to see the balance sheet as well as the income statement on or around February 15. For all I know, the projected cash flow is going to look like it could really make a dent in all that debt. The question I would pose to you is why, other than pure ignorance, do you think there are sellers at current prices.
Again, thanks to all for letting me play in your pond. I'm learning a lot here, beginning with that a stock which has been pumped and dumped may be a gem after the dumping - especially when there is lots of reason to believe that the company itself was not the perpetrator (why would the CEO want to have the value of his millions of shares decline - he wasn't selling, and to me he seems to be a victim of the scheme). Good night, everyone.
