Snickerke, thanks for trying to bring some perspective back here. The last few days, I've read such drivel here that I don't know what to make of the posters.
If management is really trying to put together a multi-country, multi-enterprise conglomorate, we, the benefactors of their vision and hard work, should give them a bit of breathing room.
Even the dividend they promised is a novel idea. If the brokerage community is fighting it... no surprise. Look what Ameritrade is doing to prevent new buying.
A little non-cooperation with our management is the least you'd expect from the brokers and mm's to avoid exposing what may be a huge short position.
As to those "investors" who feel discouraged, I strongly suggest that they sell and move on to whatever stocks really fit their investment fancy.
If you don't believe in management and you aren't prepared to wait months or years, you shouldn't be here.
Win a few. Lose a few.
Only the long term counts.
