VirTra Inc (VTSI)

[avocado]

Not sure we really have much to complain about.

When you really get down to it the stock was trading at 40 cents in June/July 2014. Today its $2.40, a six fold increase.

S&P 500 increased by 23% over the same time frame.

500% vs 23%.

Of course if you go back to earlier times then the numbers don't look so good. I bought in 2004 and sold at an almost total loss in 2007 or 2008. Got back in sometime in 2009, watched a very boring stock for the next 5 years as Bob rebuilt the company.

What I've come to realize is it takes a LONG time to break into the mindset of the people who buy the product, and change their views from old tech to new tech. I think now that Virtra has reached critical mass. Enough cops and military people have gone through the simulators as to convince the decision makers that Virtra is the best bang for the buck. But they are still a pretty small company, and it will take time to overcome that obstacle.

What will help is getting more exposure outside with more research articles such as we got from Agora. The conflict here is Bob. Bob is an engineer, and I know something about them, as my father was an engineer and my younger brother is one as well. They have a hard time understanding that the "fluff" is as important as the engineering. I remember my brother telling me one day that the sales/management office didn't do anything useful. He has since changed his tune, but it took some serious education to change that mindset.

Larry tells me he is working on Bob, but like my brother, it takes time to change.
