Part of the mood is undoubtedly due to Metter thinking we are stupid enough to think that a post-split A/S of 300mm is something he can pass off as a good thing and as a "clarification" of their share structure.
That was the worst bunch of garbage I have ever heard in a corporate PR. Seriously. We are supposed to get excited because they effectively increased the A/S to 30B (on a pre-split basis)?
And the thing is, if he feels compelled for some reason to make statements like that, he is either dotty or hiding something.
