The slap in the face is the share price, period. We wait for our potential to move forward to the point that the share price is no longer a slap in the face.
Remember the comments about manipulation to get the stock down for the purpose of fixing a sweet price on the options - did someone forget to tell the market that that time has passed? :)
The gap? Don't care about the gap, it's the audible "gasp" most everytime I look at the share price!
