available shares are
being shorted

to report revenue of
$63.4 million.

important, as any company
with a richly valued stock
depends on lots of optimism
in the future.
2. Listen in to hear if
management even makes
reference to the company’s
stock performance. They
shouldn’t, as they can’t
control it, and are executing
on their stated plans. Any
mention would signal mis-
placed priorities.
