Yes, let's scurry around trying to find reasons to justify the drop. Just take it in the chin lads.
I doubt DB is ordering the news based on how he thinks the market will react to things. He is simply updating the market with information as it becomes available. There is nothing special about the timing of this, they just completed a milestone and reported it. Simple as that.
And of course, as with all drops, there is something suspicious about it! No one was suspicious when we hit 150p last month based on nothing. The reason for the drop is simple - there isn't enough buying pressure to keep it up.
