If a sufficient amount of money starts using a product like this, what's to stop me gaming it?
Step 1: I go long on Nike
Step 2: I use my ten thousand twitter sock puppets to tweet about how they just bought an awesome new pair of Nike shoes
Step 3: I watch as all the TTAGG users plunge money into Nike.
Step 4: Profit!
