I bought into VPG after E*Trade supposedly removed VPG from the approved securities list.

However, it's back on there now, listed at 70% I believe. The "security surplus" calculation on my account at E*Trade agrees with my Excel-based calculation when VPG is INCLUDED.

So it looks to me like they may have pulled it from the list temporarily, but it's back on now.

I think this stock is one of the safest buys on the market at present. The directors here are pouring real money into it - in the $100,000's, and that doesn't include any buying by other senior executives, whose trades are not required to be disclosed.

OK, it's not quite Gerry Harvey buying $8million of HVN earlier this year, but it's a much stronger vote of confidence than the usual director buying in amounts of $5,000 or $10,000.
