You're missing the fact that there is no guarantee any of that data will be positive. A lot of people who have held this stock for many years are finally green in their accounts, especially those who averaged down or got in recently who are now up a substantial amount.

So yes, the risk is certainly there that someone sells at $5 and it spikes to $12 the next day. The same risk is that someone doesn't sell at $5 and it drops back to $2 on poor data readings.

Not every investor is glass half-full, especially when they're looking to preserve 100% gains.
