Ouch. I guess I killed Valassis. Here's the timeline:1. On January 3rd, with VCI stock trading at $10.29 a share, Valassis introduced their new consumer brand, RedPlum, with a logo I designed.2. Over the next six months the stock slowly climbed to… More

I've got about a dozen red thumbs in my portfolio just like this one.

bought in for a buck five last january. been reading for a year how dumb i am from all the thumbs down icon folks. research told me the company was a mid teen to twenty dollar cinch. history of valassis and advo indicated that they weren't responsible for dropping to 1.05, that it was generally caught up in the bank fiasco.

also, strong lawsuit against newcorp which has now been settled for a half BILLION and a 10 year shared mail agreement.

all you little thumbs down people outsmarted yourselves. let's see where that 1/29/10 closing price of 20.93 goes and who gets richer... the people who bought, or the people who played with little thumbs down icons.

Came across this company in a mention about stocks returning 1000% in 2009. Book value according to Yahoo Finance is $1.32. Not sure why it's trading near $20. Balance sheet is not great, neither is equity or apparent growth prospects.
