Did Groupon investors just get stuffed with a turkey?
gigaom.comSometimes I feel like sports commentary consists people cooking up stories to explain a random number generator.
Even the dumbest sports commentary outshines this article, which consists of 500 words attempting to explain a company's entirety based on a two week price fluctuation based on market whim (because there was no news regarding the company)
I really wish that articles like this would quit using a non-zero based y axis graph to illustrate a drop. It looks dramatic but masks the actual percentage drop.
Indeed! I always joke about financial graphs using 'opening value' (or whatever) as a base: if they used a 0-based graph, financial panics wouldn't happen.
