Sorry for the dumb comment. Should have tempered that one. It's just, I personally don't believe in spending money, I don't have. Doesn't make them dumb, just bigger believers than, I would be.
As for chasing shorts away, another personal feeling. You can't chase shorts away from a stock that holds as large of a positon as institrutional, with PR timimg.
Glad you came out OK, I did also, but there were those that lost thousands in a 2 day period, that didn't have to be hurt. And an un-needed ouch to others on margin, came within 2 cents of becoming a 50% long loss for me, because of my personal trading style.
Just my opinion. Think about how your decisions, will effect your shareholders, once in a while.
Mide followed up with an email from the IR department after the news. Kind of seemed like they were saying, we told you so. But didn't think how waiting to the last minute to do so, effected the investors they were, bragging to.
Again my opinion. Worth zip!!!
