I think it just shows that putting on a side show in regards to selection of stocks ends up influencing the public in a similar fashion to advertising. This creates a question is there is any integrity in the market. I prefer honest performance in figures rather than extensive promotion. What CEO in their right mind would get out there and say yes we are anticipating big problems in the next quarter but his one looks good. I certainly would not i would choose words very carefully. Coke is a product that one advertises to promote sales of. It brings a whole new meaning to the world of advertising when you promote stocks as products versus the result of the product. In my opinion you have pulled the cart and the horse has to catch up.
