I'm not sure what else you expect him to say. I'm not sure how he's responsible for other people's poor choices IMO. He's explained why the o/s increase and the need for more revenues before buyback.
If long for some people means as long as "I'm not red" then so be it. It's just a trading decision not CEO problem. All he can do is maintain focus and keep distributing and marketing. PPS will follow.
That's what is even more baffling to me is Vanis gave us that shareholder letter right after the 10K which really did a great job of addressing a lot of questions we all seemed to have. The shares previously issued listed in the 10K could still be available to be sold, but I really thought investor confidence would be up this week.
