On the 9 December the company could see no reason for a decline in the stock price. A few days later the sharecount is 3 times higher than the number implied in the above and earnings per share about one third the number suggested above. Who can trust any information of a company that publishes as grossly misleading information as the reference to earnings per share of $ 3? What will earnings per share a year from now? A fraction of $ 1 if profits are real and the sharecount continues soaring?
