The only reason that it spiked to 45 cents (for a minute or 2) was because the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome had not yet solidified to what it is today and so there were still many easily swayed by the alleged good news of 8 positive IPR decisions. That and there were also a ton of pumps happening simultaneously, both paid and unpaid. Even vplm was still paying known pumper companies at that point as I had dug up some of those records. They were spending tens of thousands of dollars plus tons of stock for pymts to the newsletter guys. As soon as it hit 45 cents, it immediately began a 4 to 5 year clear downtrend slide of approx 98%, from 45 back down to where it started at around 2 cents or below. That percentage somehow doesn't look right at the moment but it was definitely a 4 to 5 yr downtrend, very consistently, down to 2 cents or less. And the same downslide happened a year or 2 earlier when they momentarily hit 35 cent on conjecture. Those were the 2 big non lasting spikes. Vplm has always consistently fallen, usually back to where it started or often lower after all spikes, even the small ones. It never grows and never maintains any rises. One thing most peeps don't know is that when vplm 1st started charting, I think back about 2004 or so, it opened at somewhere around 10 to 20 cents an then shot right up to near 40 cents then fell back to the basement where, on avg, is where it usually resides, ie, in the 1 to 2 cent range. It's now, after all these years and all the hype and promises, about a penny or less above its lowest lows and falling as fast as the emuette can sell. They're happy. Shareholders not aside from a couple cult followers who hallucinate grandeur for vplm and lord Emu.
