Nice post Dennis. If anyone thinks this board is anything other than moderate, please visit any board at RB. We have great balance here. Except for the one comment by BC, who did apologize, there has been no name calling.

Words like "basher" and "rose colored glasses" are not meant to be insults, but are just to indicate positions on the stock sentiment spectrum.

From negative to positive we have...

Basher
Cynic
Contrariant
Realist -
Moderate
Realist +
Compatible
Rose Color Glass Wear-ers
Pumper/Hypster

... or something similar.

Politics have their own spectrum, why not investors.
I don't think anyone should be insulted by being given a level in the spectrum.

I guess we could come up with better, less labeling terms like:

Basher = Ted Kennedy
Cynic = Poor Democrat
Contrariant = Democrat
Realist - = Rich Democrats who want to be Republicans
Moderate = Does not exist
Realist + = Poor Republicans who want to be Democrats
Compatible = Republican
Rose Color Glass Wear-ers = Rich Republicans
Pumper/Hypster = Bill O'Rielly

Of course, this list won't do because as soon as the word "basher" comes up several people will start drinking heavily and kill a family member.

How about a scale of 1-10? 10 being a Pumper, and 1 being a Basher. Lets try it.

KP! I disagree cause you are a "3"! Hmmm, less satisfaction, but safe. I like it.

Gitman; I agree with you about this board. It is a cut above and that is the reason I read it everyday and sometimes post when I have something to offer.

It is true, if you go to the RB board and/or Yahoo board, it is a free for all. No holds barred. That's counter productive and it gets to be nothing but garbage at times. The majority of people on this board have a substantial monetary investment in this company and aren't looking for the high school rah rah stuff, but are looking for meaningful and/or informative posts in order to make prudent decisions.

IMO, I see similarities between VTSI, IPVO, and CXN. These companies have reinvented them selves learning from previous mistakes. CXN has recently moved on to the AMEX going from .04/share to a high of 8.92/share and is currently at 6.50/share. IPVO was .17/share and is currently at 1.23/share and looking to move off the OTC to Amex or Small Cap.

I believe VTSI can do the same, but there are more sped bumps along the road and I feel they will be fewer and farther in between. If i am wrong, then I am wrong, but i will take that chance or I wouldn't be invested with this company. So, let's get back to the class and pertinent posts. Good Luck to All.
