Well, pause and think for a minute.
You said 'read the announcement wrong'.
For that to happen, one has to fully and attentively read it in the first place.
You might be surprised by how many people
don't do that.
Picture, if you will a non-holder who is simply browsing trading halt announcements.
This one is not going to leap out at them. With no context, the title of the announcement isn't a strong buy signal.
This isn't a case of us 20 odd punters being geniuses, and everyone else being idiots. It is a case of signal trigger threshold. The less context you have on the stock, the higher your trigger threshold will be. Our's is low because we have plenty of context. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MARKET HAS NO CONTEXT AT ALL.
