The dearth of investigative journalism is a problem for all. Not only corrupt officials and government malfeasance not discovered and exposed, it allows corporations to say anything without effective scrutiny.
For those interested, many of the trading patterns that the automated systems look for are actually driven by words and phrasing.
With a great amount of stock trading now being driven by algorithms, nonsense like this is 'scanned' and assessed for upside potential and trading often takes place very quickly.
The fact that such a plan is fanciful, fraught with practical and regulatory uncertainty will be conveniently excluded from the 'news' (release) and traded accordingly.
Airlines use precisely this technique.
