I think Andja may also have been referring to the stock price as it has been prior to today and our most recent release.
This has always been my question too. I don't think I am alone here about this.
For example, I think it was TickerHound who posted the impressive string of HDIE's recent moves, its announcements, and yet what was missing is the kind of parallel stock price movement that reflects all these events.
Myself, I simply think it is too early for this kind of parallel movement. This doesn't mean that HDIE is not being watched. Many will wait for future Q reports to reflect the potential we see in all these moves. Perhaps then there will be this corresponding price reflection, a cumulative effect.
No matter how high our own opinion of HDIE, and the vision that comes from that, we cannot expect these future investors to necessarily believe that they must buy in now in order not to miss the boat. I think that would be naive of us. No matter our opinion, HDIE is still but one, and a small and untested one at that, among many.
Too, future investors would only be missing our "boat," not theirs.
(eric deaver addressed this very issue of volume, rumor, price, and news in a slightly different way, on the RNTK thread recently. Who knows, maybe this will apply to HDIE as well):
>>There are an awful lot of people quietly watching this one, apparently. All ready to jump in and willing to give up the first 10-20% of the ride for the comfort factor of the "real thing".<<

To say the market of the last month is responsible is but part of the story, for many traders and analysts believed they saw today's market condition present in its shadow form even last April, and even sooner.
Also, as we have been saying recently in many ways, HDIE's price may even have suffered some from the long history of rumors and expectations. Originally they may have helped define a lot of this stocks appeal, and now because of timing and delays they may have helped define it in a reverse, less appealing way. A stock never defines itself. The market does that. There may not only be work to be done, such as numbers and Q reports, there may even be "work" to be undone.
If true, I don't see the above as anyones "fault." It is just the nature of things.
I don't mean this in any negative way, but I would not be at all surprised to see mediocre volume and price response to any near term announcements, no matter how significant to HDIE's future. Personally, I would hope differently, but I just don't see the evidence for any important move up in price on such occasion.
There is much here that defies complete understanding, but again that is the market, that is HDIE, and in part that is this particular time in which we are investing.
Andja must be as familiar with this stock as any of us. Perhaps he would post his own views regarding the questions he poses? |
