With vocus the board doesn't worry about the share price they know they work extremely hard on the business as they know the share price will take care of itself if they get the business right
the shorts have increased..they are praying on the fear of the weak holders
there are a number of quality hedge funds who are actually long BAL
even if you assume flat earnings year on year the shares are ion 23 times...hardly expensive v's an A2 which trades on forward pe of over 30 times assuming 30% growth in earnings
earnings aren't driving the shares it is emotion and fear
agree bad performance can sometimes be preempting bad things
look at FXL mkt can get it wrong
