Yhea, but, there are a couple of ways to view that
Post# of 56323
One is you can get up to the minute news on everything via social networking and the individual investor has a sense of feeling better.
The other is exactly why they don't do that anymore.
When constant jabbering about company business is made in public venues than two things can happen, and most often do.
1: They end up saying something that does not happen and it gives the bashers a lot to pound on which scares potential long term investors away, and it also gives the SEC reason to suspend for pumping a stock with inaccurate news.
2: When you allow the shorts to know your timelines, you also give them the time to cause damage to the pps. The market makers love for a company to blab about everything as it allows them to raise or lower the cost of the stock and make the most money from fear or excitement ahead of time. Not a good thing at all.
If our news comes out spontaneously and without prior notice then the MM's and shorts are caught off guard and have to now cover their positions which makes the pps rise even more. They have to buy.
Personally I will take the anxiety of no news over the above.
