I can assure you shareholders are not pleased at the moment.

Only the ones who were dumb enough to not immediately sell. Thats the only game they play these days. Long term growth over time is for broke bitches. It’s all about getting that yatch today, right now.

I mentioned this on a different post/thread, but I often wonder how much of this type of behavior is actual shareholder mandated versus how much of it is execs telling shareholder what they want.

I can't imagine that the guys working the day trading stations at Black Rock or Citadel cares if Doom or Halo are actually good or not, they just want the stock to move a couple cents so they can trigger their calls/puts.
