Blame failure on the boobs, Circuit City |
Maybe I’ve got my investing philosophy screwed up, perhaps I should be taking my chops from horny commercial watchers in the Google Finance discussion area like the following (not!):
source: Google Finance CCTYQ discussion (disclaimer: I own CCTYQ stock)
Seriously, other than for comedic value, I’m not sure why Google Finance offers unmoderated comments like these on stocks. What value does this provide to investors?
Then again maybe a breast ad index should be made for illustrative purposes in each prospectus
Did this post make you go hmm?




The breast ad idea would be funny if I weren’t terrified of the potential results.

Well as Hollywood has proven again and again, sex sells. Now I’m not so sure (to your original point) Goog should be letting unmoderated comments flow, but if Circuit City can hire some good-looking and busty models to sell stuff on their floor, more power to them!
