Buying Martha Stewart Stock: Not Such a Good Thing
Because you're too lazy to buy your loved one a thoughtful gift, One Share allows you to buy — you guessed it — one share of any popular stock, complete with a charming commemorative certificate and frame. (It reminds us of the trend when people would "buy" and "name" a star as a perfectly stupid, useless gift. Nice to know that symbols of equity have reached a similar level of kitsch.) And wouldn't you know it, the share of the month is Martha Stewart Omnimedia! It's a back-handed honor, however: The shares are being sold at 10% off. Much to the chagrin of real investors, were sure.
