Professional Optimism

I'm noticing iceberg predictions and a large shift in VWAOP (Volume Weighted Average Optimistic Posts).

In early Dec we were a month away from a re-rate.  Then in early Jan we were also barely a month away from a re-rate.  Now it seems we're definitely going to re-rate within a month because, of all things, a meeting!

How did a meeting described as this:

"Our project with a large European group (PoC1) concluded for the year. The data generated has been analysed and a meeting to discuss future steps has been planned for February 2016."

Somehow turn into massively overdone expectations of us 'negotiating' with POC1 and ridiculous speculation of us being in an amazing negotiating position etc?

It's a meeting to discuss 'future steps' which will most likely turn out to be management speak for more testing, analysis and meetings.

In summary, you are all definitely going to be rich beyond your wildest dreams NEXT MONTH!  I'll meet you at the pub!
