It's so funny to look back at these threads, now that Sony Gaming division just made 113 million bucks. |
Yet at the same time, Sony as an investment was a losing proposition. Sony is down since the time of my post over 20%. Contrast to Nintendo being up over 50%. Who's laughing now? |
Cherry picking is used metaphorically to indicate the act of pointing at individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. |
That's pretty lame responce DMJ, since the stock price is the basic indicator of how well the company is doing. It would be like a doctor saying his patient heart beat is dropping and the nurse telling him no he's fine and to stop cherry picking. |
The chosen time frame for comparing stock prices could be considered cherry picking. For example, lets take a look at the returns over the last 3 months:
SNE = -1.35%
NTDOY = -10.53%
You can show any kind of result just by picking any arbitrary time frame.
