nope.....haven't been caught yet shorting VRNM........
notice I said yet....it could happen.....

maybe I've been lucky or maybe it's just that my greed hasn't overwhelmed my senses

my take on shorting is get in and get out, take the money and run
and don't get too greedy.
It was a hard lesson to learn since I'm a long trader by nature
but I had to adapt to circumstances or drown.

actually didn't short it around the 13th of Feb
thought about it and backed off
just because I posted maybe....well that meant just that...maybe

but it's looking really attractive again right now
have to watch this one like a hawk because it's so darned volitile

Biofuels aren't looking as good now as they did a year ago
all the stuff I read says avoid no matter who the company is or how good they are

The one that will absolutely defy this is the one in CO that creates 100% pure gasoline from their process

I'm dying to see them go public.....
posted about them on this board a long time ago
when they first hit the news
if they succeed, they will be the ticket
but so far.....doesn't look like they intend to go public
and I haven't had ANY luck whatsoever trying to invest in them as a private company
too many with a lot more $ than me up at the front of the line...
*sigh*

VRNM had some serious possibility imo
until Obama & the dems pursued healthcare
imo, the Republicans are possibly going to be in charge again
the way things are going
if that happens
imo, VRNM and almost every company like it are going to get squashed
in spite of what they can bring to the market
which is a darned shame
because they offer something good

I just haven't been pleased with how the company's been managed
and there's been way too much hype and there's too much debt
just a mountain in front of them to climb
if politics get added into the mix....which invariably happens
then all bets are off
