Robert, your input is priceless.
My gut filling didn't fail on me when I posted in #253 and 277 that Piper's upgrade was actually a cover up for a sell off, but what was before negative now turned positive.
Here's my understanding of the recent events.
1. CF decided to revise future earnings down.
2. Instead of dropping a bombshell at a CC meeting they found time to quietly give analysts the whole picture instead of scary headlines.
3. They timed revision with Piper's upgrade and Oracle news.
4. All those events combined provided a soft landing for the stock when negative news was released. It was not even landing so far. Friday closing price was $3 higher than it was 10 days ago. It may still come down, but nothing compared to Aug.12 crash.

In August when I was upset about CF sloppy PR job I wrote:
Kight must've given them a guidance in advance. They'd
appreciate it and provided a soft landing for the stock.

If my understanding of the situation is correct, CF just demonstrated a textbook example of how soft landing should be done. Masterful job. My most sincere congratulations to Pete and his PR team. They have progressed far beyond PR101.
And thanks again to you Robert.
