Personally I do not know him very well but I do believe he is so called not exactly a 'forum' person. He prefers the human touch, meaning chatting in person.

Me still monitoring this counter on a daily basis. Although I have squared off my position (due to my increasing discomfort about the market), I am waiting for an opportunity to go in again.

Below is an interesting article on V (pretty lengthy).

FREE VECTOR VEST REPORT ON V:
(Some data is really unavailable because 12 months from IPO have not
yet elapsed. The following report has some indicator values which are
meaningless, until tru values fro the factors will be available. Not
yet.).

Detailed Analysis
Capital Appreciation

Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. V has a current
Value of $31.00 per share. Therefore, it is overvalued compared to its
Price of $83.27 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings
per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and
inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate
and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates
decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At
some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price
appreciation potential. V has an RV of 0.93, which is fair on a scale
of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison
of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of
projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond
Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to
buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks.
VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.

RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. V has an RS rating
of 0.94, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from
an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's
financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business
longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS
rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the
average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the
purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial
performance.

RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a
stock's price trend. V has a Relative Timing rating of 1.51, which is
excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis
of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements
over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a
stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to
continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT
will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from
tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the
purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.

VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock
in the VectorVest database. V has a VST rating of 1.19, which is good
on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a
weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest
VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing.
These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital
appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued
stocks rising in price.

Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold
recommendation on every stock, every day. V has a Buy recommendation.
REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters
working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy
safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors
avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest
recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in
rising markets.

Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long
position or cover a short position. V has a Stop of $75.89 per share.
This is $7.38 below V's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is
computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is
fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS
stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops.
In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if
its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is
below its Stop.

GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year
forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. V has a
forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 28.00%, which VectorVest considers
to be excellent. GRT is computed from historical, current and
forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in
the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price
trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely
rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably
fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and
is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates,
(9.75%).

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings
Per Share. V has a forecasted EPS of $-11.17 per share. VectorVest
determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings
performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings
forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock
valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of
earnings. V has a P/E of -7.45. This ratio may be deemed to be high
or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all
the stocks in the VectorVest database is 34.08. P/E is computed daily
using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.

EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of
Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may
be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the
advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative
earnings. V has an EY of -13.41 percent. This is below the current
average of 2.93% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY
equals 100 x (EPS/Price).

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock
valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. V has a GPE
rating of -3.75. High growth stocks are believed to be able to
justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be
undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is
below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into
account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE
ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%.
With long-term interest rates currently at 5.85%, the operative GPE
ratio is 0.34. Therefore, V may be considered to be overvalued.

Dividend Information

DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as
indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time
payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. V
pays an annual dividend of $0.42 per share.

DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects dividend per share as a percent of
Price. V has a Dividend Yield of 0.5%. This is below to the current
average of 1.43% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. DY
equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is
not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in
jeopardy.

DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular
cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates
for the foreseeable future. V has a Dividend Safety of 0 . Stocks with
DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY
levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important
indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some
insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase
earnings. V has a Dividend Growth of 0% .

YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG
into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-
paying stocks in the database. V has a YSG rating of 0.1, which is
very poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. Stocks with the highest YSG
values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and
Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income
and long-term growth.

compared to the AvgVol. %Vol equals ((Volume - AvgVol) / AvgVol ) *
100. V had a %Vol of -45.03% on 6/16/2008

CI (Comfort Index): CI is an indicator which reflects a stock's
ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. V has a CI
rating of 1.51, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is
quite different from RS in that it is based solely upon a stock's long-
term price history. VectorVest advocates the purchase of high CI
stocks.

Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over

often useful to compare Sales Growth to Earnings Growth to gain an
insight into a company's operations.

be used as a measure of valuation when comparing stocks within an
Industry Group.


Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): V has a P/S of 13.94. This ratio is also
used as a measure of valuation. Here, too, it is useful when comparing
stocks within an Industry Group.

Market Capitalization: V has a Market Capitalization of
$90,259,000,000. Market Capitalization is calculated by multiplying

TA is almost useless here, as there's insufficient data to form any meaningful opinion...

but if one forcefeeds a TA opinion, the charts look like it's broken the ascending triangles not just once, but twice....hmmm....

good luck Chiron! hope you huat !
