PST,

I posted a grand total of 2 times in the past year about VTI.

VTI is and continues to be purely a speculative buy. It need to convert potential and blue sky into sales, and sales in turn into profits - not the multi million losses it continues to post.

Blue sky went out with the tech wreck years ago. What is left is earnings, cash flow, dividends and the balance sheet.

I'll be happy to recommend VTI when it is:
1. Cash Flow Positive
2. Profitable
3. Pays Dividends and is trading at a reasonable multiple, and
4. Has a healthy balance Sheet.
