Cannot resist after seeing some of the posts today.
Please please PLEASE stop wishing for the price to go up and stop complaining about flippers/traders/whatever.
Listen, in all reality the market makers are helping us out right now, you just don't see it.
Look, I do not necessarily want the price to go up too much prior to these conferences. Here is why:
At these conferences, we are going to get a lot of new faces that will be looking at us for the FIRST TIME. They have never seen us before. To them, they will feel like they are the FIRST to ever see it (BUT WE ARE ACTUALLY), and let them believe that. It is good for us. We want them to hear our presentations and then check out the price movement and see that it hasn't budged.
What happens when they hear about us, and then look and see our price movement hasn't budged. THEY ARE GOING TO BELIEVE THEY ARE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
What do these "genius" investors like? Feeling like they are smarter than other people and getting in FIRST (but they are not).
What do these "genius investors not like? NOT BEING FIRST.
What makes them think they are not first? SEEING THE PPS GO UP BEFORE THEY GET TO IT.
What happens when they don't think they are first? THEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!
WE WANT THEM HERE. We would be shooting ourselves in the foot by raising the PPS now. HAVE SOME FAITH AND WAIT!
If we can wait, and be patient, the effect of our conference presentations will be much greater than begging for chump change now like a bunch of kids. This is very much a grown-up game and we have to out-game them here. Thankfully, my market maker friends are helping us out a little. Ride the wave that they are setting up for us here.
It concerns me that so many here are in it for immediate gratification.
