I got crushed with VASO. I did make a nice sum trading ABHH though. |

I actually made a bundle on VASO. I think I sold every time they had good news and then bought back later. I also think I had an advantage in going to see TC's clinic in Rochester. After that, I decided that, unless it was a miracle cure, it probably had a limited clientele. |

LOL. Good one.
VASO may be my biggest loser of all time, particularly when considering the amount of my portfolio dedicated to it. |

K/N,
What, you don't think there will be a VASO machine in every hospital and clinic in the country?........I'm telling her to hold on until $100/share. |

TS, just be glad she is still your stepmother. :-)
Might be the time to take the loss. |

I keep an eye on it, but I have the feeling that any profits that it could make will be siphoned off to the company that bought a controlling stake in it. I believe it manufactures cheap EECP machines and primarily bought its stake in VASO to have access to its brand name and marketing ability, whatever that is worth. It may as well sell the building, because I don't expect it to be maufacturing anything for long. All the product will come straight from China. |

They had to do a sale-leaseback of their building to keep the lights on. VASO should be euthanized.
"On August 15, 2007 we sold our facility under a five-year leaseback agreement for $1.4 million. The net proceeds from the sale was approximately $425,000 after payment in full of the two secured notes on our facility, brokers fees, closing costs, and the opening of a certificate of deposit in accordance with the provisions of the new lease.
Based on the above transactions, we believe that we have sufficient working capital to continue our operations through at least May 31, 2008." |

I don't know if anyone still holds any VASO, but the final PEECH study manuscript was published on the 25th and earnings were released after the close of market today. I didn't see anything about a conference call. The 10K is out.
While some believed that the final study would add to what was released at ACC'05, I failed to see anything of the sort in the abstract. The abstract found at http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/content/abstract/j.jacc.2006.04.094v1?ct=ct

VASO has been a bitch for sure.
I took a very small position today, primarily due to Abe Cohen's purchase of .5 Million shares from 5/19 to 6/1. This time I am in at slightly less than the first time I bought Vasoline for $8.

funny how things work out.
VASO was one of my earliest biggest losers of all time.
Then I timed the CHF runup pretty good but left alot on the table but made more profit that the losses I had taken earlier (much larger postition).
Since then I have avoided it. The best thing ever about VASO is I learned alot about reading financials, projections, and trading. Alot from TC. I will always be indebted to VASO for that. |

Slip,
Pretty scarry as I remember having a large portion of my holdings in VASO as I had almost all my holdings in ABH too as it dropped from 4 to unde a buck.
I feel for folks who could not get off the rock before it went under.
I am starting to think there is no such thing as a good long term hold.

Yes, and now we know why Board Members resigned. They had to defer any compensation and I guess they were not able to come to grips with that. That tells me they were only there for the $'s. Management and continuing board members have agreed to defer some salary to cut expenses. Probably looking around for a good opportunity while they sit tight. |

Wakky,
Even though I haven't owned VASO for a long time, I listened to the call (I guess I was bored yesterday). When one investor asked what they were going to do to increase sales they didn't have a reasonable answer. Also, they seemed very encouraged because they believe they will have enough cash to continue until the end of 2006. Talk about a bleak future. |

I know I should just put it in the past and forget VASO. Anyway, earnings came out and they had a cc, which I won't waste time commenting on with one exception
When an investor asked what happened to Japan, the answer was that efforts to obtain regulatory approval were put on hold about a year back to enable the company to concentrate on other things. May have said to concentrate on obtaining CHF reimbursement. I don't know. Thanks for timely disclosing such a material event! As an aside, the company said }it is selling better in less heavily regulated markets.

Heartsdoc occasionally showed up on Raging Bull's VASO board until about a year ago.
Not to change the subject, but what do you think about the wild swings in price and volume now that VASO is a low price penny? It will be delisted in 4 weeks.

Tycho - Sure. I buy-and-hold lots of stuff. By far the biggest portion of my portfolio is taken up with PM's and with Heel's Portfolio plays, but I also have the following (for the long run):
1. Leap puts in GM, TXN, NVLS, MRK, AMAT and VC
2. Long positions in AMLN, TRCI, WHQ, WLL, OXY, EAC, ZFPI, VPHM, TS, OMM, FUR, CLB, COSWF and COMS |

Heel,
Do you ever buy and hold anything? (Other than gold, that is)
Oh, and as long as we're talking about my various and sundry suspicions, I suspected that the reason Tc refused to ever utter the name Heartsdoc on 11Wall again, even though several members asked about him, might have been because of some pending legal action.

Tycho - Actually, lots of stocks have following that resemble cults, from penny stocks right up to GOOG.
I always suspected that there was some connection between Tc's falling out with Heartsdoc(perhaps do to an EECP clinic business connection?) and the diminution of his enthusiasm regarding VASO.
I think that's a safe assumption...
The falling out must have been pretty serious. Heartsdoc suddenly disappeared completely and Tc refused to ever speak of him. Do you know anything about it?
No, but if I did, I'd let TC speak for himself, if he wanted to.
I don't recall you saying this, though you certainly might have. I do remember that, just like now, you were never overwhelmed with enthusiasm for any particular stock, and that included VASO.(I did assume you owned a little though. Was I right?)
I have owned VASo many times, but, every time it went up, I assumed it would come back down. This made me a fair amount of money, overall. My biggest mistake was when a trading model GAP and I had developed told me to sell, and I didn't. |

Heel,
Absolutely. . . No question about it. I even asked him about it, asked him what a cult stock is.
It kinda surprised me because before that, he always spoke glowingly of VASO, having dinners with the CEO, visiting the facility, talking about how wonderful the staff was. "They're my kind of people", he said.

Sometimes, when my mind wanders back to VASO, I think about Heartsdoc. Anyone know what he's doing these days?
I remember two things that troubled me a bit back in those days; one, the obvious falling out between H/D and Tc, and two, Tc calling VASO a "cult stock". |

Anyhow, the Head of Heads, Tom Glover, will enlighten all in a conference call starting in 30 minutes. Either it is going to be a soft shoe or something real nasty is coming. Probably make Barishnakoff look clumsy. (Spelling?)
Seriously, I was wondering if such a low price stock can be held captive by controlling the bid and ask through TRAC, at least for a short period, possibly designating AOL or other hard to reach offers, on a penny stock. |

Maybe those machines have uses that most people are not aware of.
For example.... what if, instead of putting your legs into the cuffs, you put your head in. Could that make a person smarter? |

VASO's application for CHF reimbursement was denied.
What I don't understand is how the price is being held up. Does anyone understand? It looks as if TRAC is always on the inside of the bid and ask.
Methinks this has something to do with being such a low priced stock.

Bill - Good play. I believe that I shorted Worldcom down around .16, and I know that I shorted a boatload of Enron at about .32, but Fidelity bought me in because I'd shorted so much they assumed I had made a mistake... |

I did my second ever short this morning on VASO. Shorted at .48 and covered at .41. I didn't think I could short it but found out fast I could. I get very nervous when I short, that's why I don't. It was an impulse short that bought me lunch and maybe dinner. I'll leave the shorting to the pros. |

Paperdad, I took a bath all told with this pig and don't trust them. I still hold some and expect it to be worthless as I am too stubborn to sell at this price. If I had any inclination that it would advance 30% before hitting the pink sheets, I would have loaded up and made my money back. Very frustrated. |
