In your wildest imagination could you have believed a scenario 6 weeks ago whereby after CME reported a great quarter and raised guidance, that they would then go on to add 2,000 buses, get an analyst upgrade, see Starr increase their investment, have the CFO buy 100K shares, initiate a dividend payment, and launch a venture to capture retail spending revenue from their riders, only to see the stock decline by 30% and short interest rise?
The degree to which the stock is disconnected from its fundamentals (which have been backed up by DT, Starr, and GH), and the news cycle of the last month, is beyond words to describe.
