Since I was a trader for five years and help build an equity research firm, I think I have enough domain knowledge to stand by the assertion I made in my second point. Wired may have a much better understanding of the technology and the industries that these companies operate in, but I was discussing the fluctuations of the stock price not the relevant business lines. I will now re-iterate what I said earlier; stock price != the company. Don't confuse the two.
