Sharp, you seem pretty well versed on Virtra, what is your history with the company or have you just done a bunch of solo research? I agree with your last post with SA, the only thing lacking is a little more exposure. Out of all my holdings, this is the one that seems to be reasonable priced based on current projections (not counting a large deal that seems very likely). Too many indicators point to a big ramp up in work... I've done as much online searching as I can and have found a bunch of STEP agreements that have been signed (and not pr'd) in the last year or two. Not overly sexy in the short term but reoccurring revenue is the name of the game. I found a job posting that has expired (or been filled) for a second shift "inspector" that was temporary for 3 months. Based on that it seems they may have one large order now that may or may not be ongoing.
Thoughts...
