So glad to hear you didn't have any personal catastrophe connected to the fires. Sad, the suicides. Glad I didn't quote you wrong as you'd likely be wringing my neck if I did, whew... Lol... The one lesson I've learned about stocks, ESPECIALLY otc pennystocks and uber especially a company that's never made a dime other than for themselves...and I'm assuming you might now be in agreement.....is I would never ever ever recommend the buying or selling of stocks. I have to assume that in the case of otherwise intelligent peeps, it happens regardless, due to buying into the hype which in some cases like Vplm, HUGE hype for untold riches, which then in turn is proudly shared with friends and family as though it's a sure enough thing that it's almost a gift. I mean I doubt highly yo would've pumped it to them if you didn't believe in it like religion, lol. Hopefully, they took as much responsibility for it being such a loser and no love lost.
At this point I guess I should offer my own disclaimer in terms of look....i could be wrong. Wouldnt be the 1st time but when i feel as strongly as I do against the company and the patents, in any area, I usually turn out to be right, Based more on common sense and intuition than stock trading expertise. But I have indeed been closely studying every aspect I could wrap my head around on this company and done an awful lot of DD. For me, all the dots connect for too scammy in my view. I call it like I see it. Goofy ppl accuse of being paid basher and everything else under the sun. I have owned shares for over 11 or 12 years so I'd be tickled pink if some miracle occurred and I definitely would categorize as a true miracle with this personal I spider ATM. It honestly brings me no joy to be so negative about Vplm. I recall very well your high degree of positive thinking. Believe it or not, I too believe in the power of positive thinking but I think short of your level. What I mean is, my perception of your brand was you think that loser can turn around things that are inherently negative. I think that goes too far because if something isn't good inside, then I don't think God or nature or the universe has any interest in turning it into good. That said I wholly am for supporting of anything you truly believe in, with fairness and balance applied.
I think I aggravated you with my 100% honest belief that vplm was not what they have been cracked up to be. I have never posted anything with the intention to aggravate, except in the case of rude, name calling, self absorbed jerks.
I sure hope that something can happen whereby you can at least recoup a significant amt of your investment. But at this point, due to the boy who cried wolf thingy, even announcement of settlements has little to no positive effect. We just went thru that and the IR dude told shareholders that it was a good settlement for shareholders. That was obviously a lie and not his 1st one I know of. All that said, there could possibly be the one more spike left. BIG maybe on that one. So you should keep as close a watch on it as is practical for you or just enter a sell order with the appropriate limits applied. Then you can just kick back and hope for the best. I haven't bought any stocks in awhile so I don't know the current limitations your broker may have on limit sells!
Good luck on your retirement plans!
