Many small shareholder have been badly burnt of recent times. This is sad. However we also seem to forget that investing is all about risk reward. Companies who's share prices have jumped must also have a large amount of risk. Sometimes these things just don't turn out. I have spoken to directors who have privately felt that thier shareprices had run to hard. However I have never seen a board member say this publicly.
We seem to have completely forgone the old adage of "Caveat Emptor".
