Hat Tip - Ace of Spades blog
The CEO, Bob Iger, had a recent shareholder meeting statement, in which he buffaloed investors with a lot of bullshit. DEIsney's share price rose from something like $92 to $110.
But it might not have just been Bob Iger's unbelievable bullshit that caused the rise -- there is a persuasive case that an army of bots has been assembled to constantly talk up how attractive DEIsney's stock is, and how, allegedly, it is exceeding analyst expectations.
What's more, you could start a bot farm and demand Disney pay you money or you talk cr*p about their stock. Or those running this click farms probably dedicate some of their capacity to do so, just to up their rates.
Either way, social media is certainly full of bots insisting stuff like Madama Web is pure gold, how much more of a bot can you be.
Unfortunately that’s called extortion. Guy in my town got convicted for threatening to expose his father for abuse if he wasn’t given the fathers new house. Apparently it’s a crime- I didn’t realize they actually enforced it until that.
