Stock price when the opinion was issued
VLE announced guidance and reserves on April 18.
While we would not say the news was bad, keep in mind the stock is up 482% in the past year and 26% YTD.

But it is cheap, and has potential.
We would consider it a buy but only for higher risk small cap investors.
