I’m not sure that is the definition of a pessimist. I expect great things for the company, which is why I am long. I have a positive long-term view. I simply disagree with the current theory that there is a partnership or a buyout in the works right now (which is driving the silent period).

I think it’s great that there are a few different theories as to what is going on – – but labeling someone as a pessimist because they don’t agree with one or the other theories, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I think it is equally plausible that they are 100% silent because they are working through these issues, and since there is no resolution, there is no communication.
