2. Flip-side: I do not care for the senseless ramping either
3. SoI is relatively large; larger if we take into account oppies. A few HC holders getting spooked and selling; emboldened and buying through sentiment expressed on HC, imo, is largely irrelevant. There are some large holders on here, heads and/or oppies, which has been verified by T20. Imo, the sum of all securities held by frequent HC posters would be lower than the perception.
4. IAM is selling a story to the market. Today was the first time we had insight into how IAM is tracking to the unseen plan. So you would be perfectly satisfied IAM only report each month/quarter about how they are tracking to an unseen target? Will the same outcome as described in your post occur if they do not publish the same metrics for a given month/quarter? I think yes. In addition, not all practices are equal. There may be 1 FP practices or 10 FP practices. Therefore, the metrics can be expanded to included no. of FP and a revenue metric.
Basically, I am all for transparency. If the market believes the end target is both good and achievable, then sentiment will be positive. This should then be reflected in the financials and the SP, ceteris paribus. The flip side will also occur. And when there is a mismatch, the stock will be oversold/overbought. Assuming a degree of market efficiency.
