It is the better decision though. Having the CC this coming Monday would be a mistake. I hadn't really thought about it myself, so I will cut him some slack.
Here's one thought to keep in mind: I believe his error should demonstrate even moreso that this is not a guy who is only concerned about a stock price and moving that price higher, but instead, is more concerned about edifying his investors on the great developments and strides the company has made.
A pump and dump CEO would have never made this kind of mistake. I am behind you Chief!!
