there are two things...
1. You have applied line-height:150px => this will always keep 75 px on both sides of the text. So even if valign=bottom, it will leave 75 px below itself.
2. it doesn't seem to work with DIV, or even P,
try it with TABLE
Yes, good answer. How can I miss that? I can if I am trying to do it with vertical-align. Thanks for the answer. So I have another question. In which situations should I use this sh*t vertical-align in divs?
vertical-align is an inline css property and for table cells. divs are block level so it doesn't work there. It's used to align inline text, images, etc. in relation to the baseline or, more specifially, the generated inline box.
You need to put your text inside an element if you want to position it inside a div. Right now, the text is just part of the div, but if you properly put it in a <p>, as it should be, You could using positioning to place it anywhere inside that div without resorting to padding.

Can you give me an example because I tried as you wrote but still no effect?

I guess he drives at this,
[HTML]<div style="height:150px; width:200px;vertical-align:middle; border:solid 1px red; position:relative;">
<p style=" bottom:0px; position:absolute;">This text should apear at the bottom of the div!</p>[/HTML]
