many moons ago, as a VTI holder, I watched with fearful amazement as NQ did battle with other holders as to the merits of this stock. His punchline then was "where are the contracts?"
Now, as a holder, I too was hopeful of something substantial happening, then as the months passed, I just wanted something a little positive, then it got to be just wanting something, anything at all, to happen.

Guess what. I WOKE-UP.

Since taking the loss, I have turned the proceeds over 4 times and am now 106% up on my original VTI investment.

I agree with others whom have espoused the opinion that if the product was so wonderful and cost effective, VTI would have secured more substantial contracts than the few measley test jobs that emerged.

That argument aside, just from an investment perspective, unless you got in at the basement level price, the stock for the medium to longer term holders has been a flop. My experience is testament to that.

VTI = NO CONTRACTS = NO VALUE (imo)

que sera sera
