On a day like this with the financial markets on a high and InterOil announcing a very credible new CEO but the share price succumbing to yet another Citron piece, shareholders might be given to wonder about whether they'll ever be basking in the sun.
The answer is almost certainly yes.
For you to realize that, you have to take a few steps back though. Don't look at the hourly, daily, weekly, or even monthly turn of the stock price, but look instead at the yearly performance.
At once, you'll see that there is in fact a relation, which seems so spurious on a day like today, between business development and the stock price.
Whatever the day-to-day power of the shorts, in the longer run, there is a neat correlation between positive business developments and the stock price, and there is no reason this won't continue as it did in the past, even if the short run might be different.
