Mak,

For your edification, here is the definition of straw-man argument:

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

Here's how to identify a straw man argument in reality:

You see, when you say:

no matter how much you like to convince people that the hordes of POH holders are shocked and surprised by current proceedings.

you are creating a straw man, because what I said is this:

The facts at hand are as follows:

*the last two trading days on the back of a results release have volumes double that of the average daily volume.

*The share price is down significantly.

*There are some comments here on this forum expressing disappointment with the announcement and admission of selling.

Thus it is not a stretch to conclude that some had expected more from the announcement.

Apologies to those readers that understand simple logic for pointing out the obvious
