I think you’re right on the money with that assessment. The company likely wanted to get the news out about the submission (a milestone) before the end of the year as that had been their goal. And they likely thought the angst coming from some shareholders over the delay would be assuaged with the submission announcement. But alas, that seems to not be the case for some.
hyperopia, I also agree with you and sentiment stocks and look forward to the next PR concerning the submission, it should be positively noteworthy. A little of optimism keeps me patient so I employ it, but at this time I think this is actually quite accurate.
