This big company was once involved in a stock-market bubble. Interestingly, it neither schemed this bubble nor benefited from it. Rather, the bubble was caused by people’s carelessness, impatience, and reluctance to look below the surface.
Several years ago, this big company bought a smaller firm that made security and control-related devices. This firm’s name is commonly associated with birds, care, and family-making. Unexpectedly, when the purchase agreement was announced, it made stocks of an outside company skyrocket. The products of this outside company helped ensure control, too, but in quite a different sense.
This short-lived hype caused by a massive misunderstanding entered into the stock market’s history.
