Re: Whole Foods CEO Posted on Stock Message Board
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] NEWS ALERT from The Wall Street Journal July 11, 2007 Whole Foods' founder and CEO John Mackey posted many messages on Yahoo's stock forums for about eight years, ending around August 2006, the company confirmed Wednesday. Mr. Mackey used the pseudonym "Rahodeb," an anagram for Deborah, the name of Mr. Mackey's wife. On the boards, Rahodeb routinely cheered Whole Foods' financial results, trumpeted personal gains on the stock, and bashed rival Wild Oats. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1184...?mod=djemalert [/ QUOTE ] In other news, I am actually the Commerce Secretary of China [/ QUOTE ] In other news, you're fired and slated for execution. -Wu Jintao |

Re: Whole Foods CEO Posted on Stock Message Board
There's a ton of illegal stuff going on in the Yahoo message boards, but they will never be prosecuted.

He runs against a slew of SEC regulations. Very illegal.
(At least the Chinaman died w/o a long wait on death row.) |

Re: Whole Foods CEO Posted on Stock Message Board
I think is actually really funny, although somewhat disturbing.
