Response by the stock holder:
Every person who is an investor looks for only one thing; return on investment. This return could be by way of dividends on the stock held, or the increase in the stock value.
Apart from the return on investment, every investor wants to know if the company has planned for the future. G# by way of its acquisitions and well as internal R D has ensured that the company would be moving forward. This is important to the investors' decision whether he/she should remain invested or cash-out, if the company has no future.
The future for G# looks very optimistic and the stock has appreciated in value since the IPO. Hence, the shareholder's response would be that he/she likes what the directors are undertaken by the company.
