It's a fallacy to assume it's ALL about our immediate short-term financial gain. As you singled me out, the last time I expressed frustration with NP was when I feel he made some blunders in the summer, which compounded the drop and literally took uplisting off the table. I wanted uplisting (yes, in part for my own financial gain -- I'm not a saint), but also so the company would have an easier path forward to success, and "success" to me in 2020 was an EUA and jabbing dying people with a life-saving drug.
Had we uplisted in the summer, we would likely have had a higher pps which meant easier funding, easier enrollment. Media would have been less reluctant to talk about us on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, etc. because we'd be on a more legit exchange, aka not a "stinky pinky."
So my frustration with seeing the pps plummet wasn't *just* about my own six-figure swing, which your post suggests. It was also about the bigger picture and saving lives over a period in which we've lost 1000-4000 people a day. Hence, NP unnecessarily dropping the word "death" in a PA video, or fumbling PRs, releasing fluff PRs which killed an upswing, etc. drew some ire. Should that stuff be posted publicly? Maybe not in a perfect world. However, I think it's unreasonable to expect everyone to stay mum on a message board and only email NP (which I have done also) with their private concerns.
Again, irritation at the dropping pps wasn't all about seeing my account go up (or down at the time), it was about Cytodyn's long-term success and short-term ability to get Leronlimab into as many bloodstreams as possible.
Sure, I could have pocketed half a million or more if I'd played the swings right. And who wouldn't have done that if truly able? But I don't like to flip and risk losing the long-term status of my holding, and even while making that money I'd still be upset the company's progress was being hindered and delayed.
I'm also not a psychic, dammit, so I didn't win the lottery either.
Give the old nag a carrot for me.
