The point on language is plausible.
As for "the stock is doing fine." I just have to try to remain skeptical.
I appreciate your uplifting talk, if it's meaningful. But when one goes back through the history of this board one finds nothing but optimism from you. Now that might be justified. But it's cause for concern to an investigative mind.
Of course, you may just be (no doubt are) further along in the investigative process. But for someone coming in, your refrain sounds not unlike the verve of the Evolutionists. I.e. At one point one is just dying to ask them "Look, you say you hold this view on the basis of evidence, then tell me what WOULD qualify as disconfirmation of your view. Because until you can offer something along those lines, it's foolish to say you hold this belief on an evidential basis." That is, I'm not yet convinced that there is a state of affairs that you'd not spin in a positive direction.
It might be rational. It might be hopeful. It might be cognitive dissonance and self-deception.
It's all very difficult.
Personally, I'm a sucker for your spin. I want it all to be the way you say. But I'm also mindful that I am a sucker.
