Here is my take on this whole thing whether you agree or not: VCTY is a product of China and the Chinese govt. Should this merger msterialize we will see the Chinese unleash an onslaught of N American IPOs onto this crappy exchange. MinaMar has exposed this niche and plans to run with it imo. US economy is weak, exposed and heading in the wrong direction again mo. I don't think its enough for China to just have a company trading on our exchanges. They recognize there is a market here in pink land and its an easy easy entry point to capitalize on the worlds largest economy. The closest parallel I can draw is Google. Expose, capitalize and dominate every information niche available. Have you read The Art Of War? Again my opinion but I take the Chinese very seriously and so should the US govt. I don't set policy and I certainly don't have any influence over it. What I do have is enough foresight to recognize everything they are doing is calculated, opportunistic and very forward thinking. This merger/ipo has to go well for them. Like I said they recognize our vulnerabilities and intend to capitalize on them. Remember everything in the world of business is about trends. The person that can recognize a trend, capitalize on it is the person that's gonna reap the rewards. All my opinion
