Yeah, you-know-who is going to have a field day with that -
Just from a perception standpoint and I have no personal stake nor personal care frankly, I don't even have a sub to the service, though I intend to when I trade in my pair of 87 'clunkers' under Mr. Obama's 'cash for ..." program soon ...
Strange psychological tennis match in the ol gray matter yesterday - The 'shoulda' bought more in the low 30's (rather than mglg) and that nagging indicator of "You knew the app was coming" over against the "Don't throw any more money into this pig" mantra of all the preceding paint drying weeks.
Should I be at all surprised that this thing could not be pulled off without some new drama or controversy? The reasonings behind it don't give me a fit when it may be all completely out of their control - It is none of that, I will leave it to the beavers of speculation and angst and poor management and all the mantras that go on unceasingly.
What it does reinforce is something that has brewing now that I have held through since early December ... Time to get out. I might miss the 'biggest thing in the world' but I really don't have the time to subscribe to all this drama anymore. Probably a good thing anyway, will make selling off that much easier ...
Brother, can you spare a dollar?
Edit: BTW shots, that wasn't a shot at you, pardon the pun - It actually looks like they are in fact doing a great deal of marketing on this, for a change - I don't disregard anything but also realize some of the dynamics of why a company may seem to be siting on their laurels when they are really trying to right the ship - Plenty of blame to be thrown around - My angle is just more of the perception of it all and that word 'manipulation' can be used in a variety of ways. This thing just attracts so much attention and is seemingly the scapegoat or kick dog of the market, it's just relentless. I am just trying to be unbiased and look at it as an investment, will I make or lose money etc.
