Lot's of pundits seem to think a major correction is due. I'm sure you can find that info most anywhere.
As for VLDI, it's at a low point so I don't think that even a market crash will impact its price much. I do tend to agree with some on this board that regardless of the lack of revenues with VLDI, someone or some entity continues to fund it and that's why I continue to think there is something to this story.
Those billionaires spouting off about a market crash are capable of making it happen. They will begin selling some of their shares, start the sell-off,and then when stocks bottom they will begin gobbling up cheap shares. Happens every 3 to 7 years. Who makes money the top .01%..ie..the billionaires/
As for how a market crash would effect VLDI or any penny for that matter...very little if any. In fact pennies may flourish in the middle of a market downturn.
