Another reason I hated yesterday's share price fall is the possible effect it has on the road show attendees. "Oh, geez, another Venture stock, good story, but I can't recommend this. Maybe if they ever get to the NASDAQ I can." Did someone want to cast a pallor on the roadshow? The above is all extremely speculative on my part.
Of course the above is countered by, "We're planning on getting off the Venture as soon as possible, and days like October 22 are part of the reason why. We're going to be a mainstream tech company, with sales and earnings and a stable but rising share price." Also, the wildness of the Venture is surely well known to the roadshow attendees, so they may shrug if off.
Still does not sit well with me, though.
