<p>Can you think of one? 
why</p>
<p>Me “Kinglin” because I love to ‘short’ stocks. Who knows, I wouldn’t say any one person affects the market. I mean investment banks/hedge funds do a good job of working the market a tad. There’s also a lot of foreign investment in the economy, and I think it’s the foreign countries that control our economy. If they all decided to take there money else where, we’d be screwed.</p>
<p>Yea… I’m not sure how to answer this question either…</p>
<hr>
<p>Kind of on/off-topic… but have you guys seen XOM’s (Exxon Mobil) quarterly profits??? It’s ridiculous. They raked in more in one quarter than Intel, Time Warner, etc do in one year.</p>
<p>Market Cap: 350 -BILLION-</p>
<p>“DALLAS (AP) – Exxon Mobil Corp. rewrote the corporate record books Thursday as the oil company’s third-quarter earnings soared to almost $10 billion and it became the first public company ever with quarterly sales topping $100 billion. Anglo-Dutch competitor Royal Dutch Shell PLC wasn’t far behind, posting a profit of $9 billion for the quarter.”</p>

<p>I would never buy that stock; doesn’t look to me like it has potential to grow rapidly any time soon… everything looks good though…just like all other big cap stocks</p>
<p>buy CEO (chinese national oil), more potential with less risks there</p>
<p>Ruppert Murdoch is one that comes to mind. Kirk Kerkorian is another.</p>
<p>i know this is sad but can you explain murdoch’s role (i know he owns news corporation) :)</p>
