Conservative nominal thinking is lacks Progressive posture. Your point #3 is the kicker. Think of what the PP seekers can do to a Consolidated Share Structure SP when hunting for the PP Strike price.

And regardless of any form of NEWS, be it super great news or just the expected very great news. Old Joe PS: Why the attempt to DOCTOR the reality of the matter?
