"Thats not the point. The deception of shareholders is what is unaceptable."

I padded my kid's custodial fund with a little extra today on the dip and didn't think a thing about it. BUT I probably would not have done it today before the closing bell had I know about managements $2 billion surprise. Is it a big deal? Well, hell, I don't know. Stock might go to the moon in the morning and never come back down. But, as an investor in Q I would like to have known ahead of time and heard management's explanation of why even if it's "I can't tell you right now...trust me" or something to that effect.

I don't get it. Where is the deception? It's standard practice for all public offering in which underwriters may have extra shares to cover over allotment. As far as stocks price goes, I have no complaint. The stock has risen from 100 to 160 in only a few weeks.
