<<We all know that the market trades on the prospects for the company in the future. >>
Quite a few saw good future for this stock as of yesterday (it was up 1 1/2 yesterday and down more than 18 at the last check):

Your point is valid IFF the markets continue to discount the future. This stopped happening in the US since early 1997. As long as many stocks are in the hands of momentum geeks, a la Jim Cramer, there is no such thing as "discounting for the future prospects." They just trade on the premise of 'acting well' or 'greater fool theory.'
BTW, these are the inefficiencies of the markets that give you an opportunity to make money.
