Guidance can by definition only be provided by the company. PACERs by definition, can only be provided by PACER. Both have done so according to their responsiblity.

While arguably not their duty, it's certainly common practice for companies to provide guidance, for good reasons, pro and con. In the last 5 years, PTSC has only once done so officially, in my recollection, and then quickly rescinded it. However, one could take the "increasing license fees" and "undervalued pps" comments the company makes and the "pie chart" and "Gloria's e-mail" as "implied" guidance since they have all come either directly from company officials, or through PTSC approved TPL PR's, and they have all proven untrue, at least to date, not because of my unfounded interpretation of events, but as shown through the historical record.

On the other hand, you've made conclusions, and "expected" things that you feel you've become entitled to SOLELY through another's past generosity, and when that person for whatever reason didn't meet YOUR expectations, you crapped all over them. The RESPONSIBLITY for anything more than you or me getting the document from PACER directly, rested with YOU or with ME or any other interested investor. I suggest YOU look in the mirror for the fault, and SOLELY in the mirror.

The rest of your view is concoction based on YOUR expectations, and absent any verifiable or supported fact. And to top it off, despite your attempts to redundantly post it, your argument isn't even supported by the pps action, though you didn't let that stop the reprehensible character assassination you engaged in.

Lastly, you likely never considered it as it doesn't fit into your unsupported conclusions, but since we've been told licenses aren't necessarily being announced anymore, you have no idea whether TPL/PTSC closed any additional license agreements on Friday the 25th, when there was a surge in price, as that could just as well be the reason for the price rise on that date, as likely if there were deal(s) to be struck, PTSC would have pushed for them to be completed before the quarter ended the following Monday.
