EA Gets Booted From NASDAQ-100
Let's face it guys, nobody here likes EA that much. Despite owning the licenses to some truly amazing games, we've all seen how greed has ruined such franchises. And naturally, it wouldn't be just this site that is hating on them. All around the internet, they have quite the negative reputation. Well, it seems this reputation has come back to bite them on the arse, as the NASDAQ, a leading stock market, has pulled them from their NASDAQ-100 list, alongside RIM and NetFlix.
Now, that doesn't mean they can't trade stock. Oh no sir, the NSADAQ-100, in the words of NASDAQ OMX Executive Vice President John L. Jacobs, is, " the 100 largest non-financial stocks listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market." While it's depressing that we won't be able to completely cut off their drip supply of money, this is a massive blow to the company after EA was named the worst company in America earlier this year.
More interesting, both Facebook and Western Digital have both been added to the list. We all know what Facebook does (an ad platform which happens to have messaging ability), and if you've never heard of them before, Western Digital is a company that produces things like Hard Drives and other computer components. This is good news for both companies, even after Facebook saw a year of glitches, misrepresentation and stock price stumbling.
The changes take effect December 24, if the world doesn't end.
