I think so too. I almost wonder if we'll see a gap down today on the old "buy on the rumor, sell on the news." If it dips too much, I'm getting some more.

No gap down. There's still a lot of inventory in the high $6s - $7s to churn through. Shouldn't be a problem over the next couple of weeks.

It seems to be slowly but surely coming down. High of 7.99 today, and now it's already at 6.33 (been as low as 6.11). The big question is... Does it keep coming down or not :)

I dropped out mid 7s on VHC. I didn't have enough invested to really creep for the long run right now. Now that it is back down, guess I might get back in this week or next.

Well, Blockbuster (BBI) passed below their 52 week low on rumors of bankruptcy protection needed.

What do ya think? Worth the risk, or is BB done for?

Blockbuster followed the GM plan of waiting until the last minute to change their operation model. Their plan to rollout kiosks while closing stores came far to late in game, redbox has built a name for themselves and has a huge head start. They already had a horrible 4th quarter, which is typical their best, a credit rating that is listed as 'vulnerable to default', and no bailout from the government to turn too, I've got to think Blockbuster is going to bite the dust, the writing has been on the wall for years and the company did little to change the script. I'm sure their name will be bought out and live on though.

same :) Slightly in the red, but not worried. I don't have enough shares to really make a difference anyways.

I'm somewhat frustrated with VHC performance today, up 35% at one point and now just about 11% for the day after a major win against MSFT, really?

That said, the major war has been won, a few months we get official verification, after that win the appeal process, and the spoils of war to collect will be immense.

I just hope VHC can make some deals soon (VeriSign hopefully) to bring in some much needed increased cash flow so we don't face dilution.

Great assesment. Wouldn't surprise me if Redbox bought out their inventory or name. They are definitely done for.

VHC needs to show at least the slightest bit of effort to get their products out to market (business deals, partners, or some other form of distribution), or the demand and faith of their company will continue to dwindle.

sold 90% of my GGP holding today, as Simon might come back with a ridiculous $15.01/share offer or something like that, also with my Fairx holding now, I think I have enough exposure to GGP.

Love it or hate it, F has got to be one of the better pickups from the recession bounce. Closed over $14/share today. I'm riding over >400% gains right now since I bought in. Just wish I had the foresight and more importantly the cash to put a bigger stake in it.

I got in at $5.41 and I am definitely loving it. I don't see any problems anytime soon

They had me at "We have enough cash in reserve to ride this out without a federal bailout." I believe my buy-in was around $2.70/share.

Yeah I wasn't scared away from them like many I just didn't have the cash earlier. Definitely going to ride this out to $20+

The pullback on VHC is great, considering the greater risk factor removed, it is still quite a bargain. Once the guys who've waited two years to take their cut have sold their position, and news goes around about VHC, we should see a steady upward trend in the coming weeks. I'm sure financial institutions interest will peak.

I wish I had more funds to throw into this monster, though I did buy in some more, albeit at a $0.60 premium now.

Simply news of another litigation would send this stock upwards. Although I'd prefer if they begin to aggressively market themselves and get some licencing in order and rake in the greenbacks that way, instead of solely relying on litigation winnings.

That's the immediate plan according to the post-trial quotes I've read.
