IPI cannot wag this deal

[SamAdams]

I agree, but to my point, I don't think any of us saw IPI being even a minor issue.  Neither did MH.  But if you bring it up yours a short, having a bad day etc...  I really don't take any of that personally and try to stay on point.    So for a stock like IOC, it becomes a show me story.  And despite the great deal MH signed, he made enough small mistakes to diminish it in the eyes of many, at least in the short term and obviously in error, but again a company with not a lot of credibility built up.  So I'm not saying you, but the over the top bullishness at times and refusal to deal with what is happening and happened can be more frustrating than the price decline.  And even though I agree with your asessment, we really don't know for sure either.
