I thought of this curse when they started building their headquarters. LOL!

Keep me posted on similar developments; I want to fund my retirement through strategic shorting :-)
Cheers!

I'm glad the article mentions the
New York Times, which has seen its stock decline 50 percent while building its new headquarters.
In any event, the whole "headquarters" idea is such antiquated nonsense. The lean, mean companies to come will largely be an amalgam of talented employees from all over the country, mainly linked by computer and live video feed.
Actually, Congress could be conducted in similar fashion right now, with all the members doing business and casting votes right from their home districts, and only gathering for important events like the State of the Union and national crisis. The reason it will never happen is that no Congressperson would want to remain in his or her district to conduct business -- they'd be too close to those dastardly constituents of theirs.
Washington provides them a convenient escape.

Personally, I've noticed the time to bail out of a particular stock should be when you see TV advertisements for the company, if the company shouldn't be on TV in the first place viz., Enron, Tyco.

E. F. Hutton built a new headquarters building a year or two before the 1987 crash which wiped out the company.
