No such thing as bad publicity? Bet the makers of Peloton feel their pre-Christmas marketing campaiign was money well spent, it produced such a hostile backlash it wiped $1.5bn off the value of their company.

No doubt the price will rocket again. Just a chance for investors to get in on a misaligned stock price. It'll recover, so while it's "bad publicity" it'll soon be yesterday's chip paper. If anything it's an opportunity to make some gains.

Quite possibly. Still probably not the greatest marketing campaign in history though, I'd suggest

I had an excercise bike delivered this week.

This time I will definitely stick with it. Definitely. Fact.

(I have to put it together first though)

Totally agree on the ethical point of view. On the investment one however, when we look at the demographic of even the modern investor, it is still largely dominated by older, straight, white and over privileged "gentlemen".

Basically, Peloton the company will probably be thinking 'Oh buggar' but any potential shareholders that they were trying to get to buy...will now have a much more attractive  buy in. Be interesting if there was anyone looking to buy a fairly large stake in the company recently?

Was is it a Peloton?
And will Mrs FH be filming your progress over the next year?
If so, don't forget, fearful expression required.  Wink

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Oh dear. The one in Lancaster was ok.
I would have put this in the mildly annoy thread. Smiley

Maybe the chief rodent in the boardroom should be removed.  Hmmm
