I do not think Bill was pumping.. but it can be interpreted that way for sure.  I think it really was a piggy backing off the e-trade issue he discussed earlier.. that some funky things where happening today, and we was just trying to make us aware.

a CEO should never comment on a stock price or anything like that, its just in bad taste.

made me re-evaluated my investment for a minute.. not the kind of thoughts you want to put into your investors..

but he knew he messed up.. thats why he pulled the posts.  You gotta take the good and the bad with this much transparency.. he just got caught up talking about something he shouldn't have publicly.  Maybe he should hire a PR person after he makes his first billion haha.
