This is a great post. I'm in the same boat as you, and I'd like more specifics on the FLDs... BUT...
But I also understand where monk and the core members are coming from. They don't know who they can share their secret sauce with... And if they become too liberal with the privileged secrets then they will enviably provide flippers and MM spies with details that may set us back.
Honestly, if share count is all that matters, then I wonder why we don't encourage the PPS to drop like a rock so we can load the boat? Maybe only because people would panic a little like they're starting to publicly admit in response to this post... Which is a terrible idea by the way. The market makers can stall out as long as they see benefit to it, I can only assume. And the more we openly admit doubt... Then the more they'll apply pressure and continue stalling. You can count on that.
