Easy to argue your "facts." See below.

FALSE: "The price of oil is up 100 percent from last year at this time"

What price(s) are you using, and which crude product? I could find nothing to support this. There's also much geopolitical instability from very recent events that are spiking the price of oil, and your numbers still don't work.

PARTIALLY TRUE: "on Febuary (sic) 25 2021 VBHI stock price was at .02"

The price on 2/25/21 ranged from $0.017-0.021 and closed at $0.019.

MISLEADING: "Stock price is down 50% as of today."

You cherry-pick numbers harder than George Washington. The stock traded yesterday in the range of 0.0095-0.0105. On an annual basis the stock is down anywhere between 38-54% depending on your buy/sell price. 50% is in the range, but it's on the high side. Regardless, YoY returns say nothing about where the price is going, only about where it has been.

You also seem to imply that there should be some sort of correlation between the price of oil and this stock price. How correlated (R factors are what is typically used to describe correlation)? It's an underlying factor, but not the only thing that drives the price of equity.

TRUE: "the high on March 17 2021 was .107"

Wow, a bonafide true fact from you. Congrats on this achievement. But how is this relevant at all to anything?

WHATABOUTISM: "Is Scott Cox salary down 50%?"

Yes it is, to some extent. You didn't really state a position, "just asking the question." CEOs often get lambasted for their compensation. One reason for that is that many CEOs are compensated heavily with equity -- IN ORDER TO ALIGN THEIR COMPENSATION WITH THE STOCK PRICE. This can be good or bad, as it can create perverse incentives for executives to operate the company quarter-to-quarter as opposed to focusing on long-term outcomes at the expense of short-term earnings, but investors like it because it aligns their outcomes with executive compensation.

"Feel free to explain why this company is performing so poorly while the entire energy market is booming."

I'd love to. You correlate company performance 100% with equity price. You also seem to correlate "energy market" with the price of oil. Those are incorrect. Equity returns are only one piece of company performance. This company is performing well for one of its maturity -- producing revenues, executing on projects, growing assets, improving market positioning. I imagine they are looking ahead to greener pastures.

FALSE: "If you need to personaly (sic) attack me, so be it."

How did I personally attack you?

FALSE: "But like I have said before, the numbers don't lie."

Numbers don't lie, but you do (although perhaps not on purpose. You might be doing your best but falling short. Hard to say). In any event, you wouldn't know a fact if it slapped you in the face. You regularly avoid my cogent arguments and try to stand on your podium and scream about "facts" that are tainted and barely true, if at all. You seem unable to understand basic concepts involved with investing, equity returns, and a myriad of other items just in an attempt to denigrate this company. I find it rather entertaining and hope to understand more someday.
