The only thing missing is a smoking gun in regards to all the ambulance chasers suddenly appearing again on the cusp of (presumed) news and the upcoming CC. No way it's a coincidence. There's something seriously fishy going on here and it looks like someone is not happy to see a price rise with the pps.
One point to note is that CCs are not without their dangers. It's very risky for a company to do a CC unless there is some killer news to justify it. From my experience, 9 out of 10 CCs cause the pps to plummet soon after. The last CC JBI did was not earth shaking. (It was little more than a sales pitch.) If they try that again given the strong expectation for major news, the pps will suffer greatly.
I'm hoping they put up a mechanism to submit questions ahead of the CC.
