I can see where you are coming from...  (Mature conversation has that capacity).  I would only counter that he is not as "in Touch" with the company as many others are...  And this is but the tip of the iceberg....

If this blows up there will be tens or scores of posters who know nothing about this company, but state they do or say that there are problems or post negative things... It is the nature of the boards.  WHEN that happens, I will have hoped that Papa will be under heavy sedation...  He's an awesome guy, but the negativity will drive him bonkers...  lol

In mits case - I believe it is simply that he is on the Neptune ring of the solar system (Notice I did not say Uranus  - I am leaving that for the idiots to come / and pluto is no longer a planet.)  What he sees is simply the activity of the price.  Which is entirely fine...  I am sure many of us have had expectations of something that was not met.  We have talked this company up SO SO much that when that spike does occur, you expect it to stick a little, or even just slowly roll down the wall.
