The Inimitable Tiff

To be sure, rumors can move the market, which is why investors need to use their common sense and judgment as filters before acting on rumor and innuendo.  But it’s interesting that a company like Google would include this as a risk factor, especially since:  1) investors already know that this happens from time to time, 2) it’s really not that helpful, and 3) it’s a little like warning about the flu that Aunt Edna may or may not give the CFO someday.
