“Please do be more mindful of your communication with editors going forward.”

You sassy, impertinent boy. Now go to your room and don’t come down until you’ve learned to mind your p’s and q’s when seeking acceptance from the lords at SA! And no dessert for you!

Interesting! There are actually viable paths for a class action lawsuit against Seeking Alpha. Authors could band together as could several tiny companies like VirTra. Of course the problem is proving damages. Not worth the effort I suppose.

Your article was excellent. Your use of quotes gives it a ton more credibility than the normal garbage SA allows. It is also clear you did a lot of research and were smart enough to have facts tell an interesting fun to read story/analysis.

More stringent rules for first time authors is nonsensical and likely not kosher in a legal way. There are literally 100s of SA articles on sub $100mil companies and even more on companies that are much more illiquid than Vtsi.

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...
