ICE Q4 results discussed with FNN, page-8

Thats very true Cycle. My interpretation is that you wouldn't be doing the rounds unless you were looking to do a raise and the latest investor update is geared towards it as well.

I am all for pumping up interest in a company by leadership, but to do it this way I felt compelled to call it out. Agree the right way is through announcements etc.

By the CEO posting this the way he has, I tend to agree with the comment by Septic. Why not be transparent?

I get companies may try to create the perception that they are doing amazing from time to time for any number of reasons, including:
Potential Raise
Pressure from shareholders towards management or board about the lack of performance etc.

I just object to someone trying to pull wool over my eyes and for something as simple as this. No flies cycle
