You don’t hire s “VP of marketing” unless you have something to sell.
Then why the heck doesn't she start selling all that stuff we have to sell? :-) :-) :-)
Dr. Liu is obviously much more than a tout selling some hokey fad. She was obviously hired for her deep knowledge and connections in the industry. It's not implausible to think she might even be responsible for a delay in sales in order to optimize products for sale.
Whatever the case, buyers should rejoice at the low prices while traders and other sellers mourn - except for that dang vulture feeding at the trough.
