Re: Babs and SBUX; Since the media made such a big deal out of her "savvy" performance on the upside, could a person call him/herself a journalist if they didn't do a follow-up story, detailing her trading demise? I mean, let's face it, any simpleton could look at the stocks she got lucky with and would surmise "only a matter of time before she blows up." Or, since she's Media Darling/Democratic Operative Babs, does that make her immune from any press that would illuminate her as just another amateur who thought she was a pro after riding the rising tide of a bull market? That is a rhetorical question; I already know the answer. I just think it's funny that the media types snicker and giggle when they talk about Joe Sixpack buying Internut stocks, but when someone like Babs does it and blows up, its different.
