To assume a "conspiracy" requires one to believe that a fairly large group of people have all agreed to "wait until the price goes up."

I find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't want all they can get right now, and would break any such consipiracy wide open.

GREED is not patient, and it's far too prevalent to expect universal concern even within any fairly small group for "distant future profits."

The widespread and obvious willingness of corporate executives to "gut the company" for the sake of "this quarter's bottom line" makes patience a ridiculous concept in this context.
