Those who have vested interests do care. Brian himself cares and am fairly certain he is rather bewildered as to how the stock price has performed or rather, not, as he does have a fair chunk invested.

Whether one likes the comments made be it positive or negative is a personal choice, it is after all a forum where such comments are part of the privilege of stock ownership or even lack of. You're right though, as no amount of commenting either way will alter the share price - even Brian cannot control market forces. But then if one commented on the stock going to the moon one would still be labelled. Hardly a win win either way.

You're also right, it is a gamble in the end but doubt losers in a casino are ear to ear with laughter. Surely holders are hoping for better outcomes.
