[[“””””””””which should translate into higher sales, according to one analyst.”””””””]]

The financial results will tell the true story- I’m betting sales drop dramatically- especially since businesses are dropping their support of nike

The Sopes people have software that can do this stuff.

They are funded by Soros too!

I have doubts it’s sustainable. How are sales of hula hoops doing?

Fake likes and stream racks account for the shitty hit music we have today with no actual sale

So if tech titans can squash conservative views, can they institute bots that artificially inflate????

I know the answer.

Any person who liked this should get a reward of a free, one-way boat ticket to Cuba. Let them get what that commie kneeler likes.

North America sales have been struggling for a few years...China is where it’s at for Nike. I guess they figure that pissing off a whole bunch of N.A. customers is worth it in the long run.

It will be interesting to see the sales reports.

I call those “boiler room likes”.

As someone said the other day about Nike’s stocks going up “wait for the earnings reports”.

Waiting for quarterly and annual numbers. Does the SEC regulate likes?

Nike (NKE) earnings report is 9/25/18.
It better be really good because the stock is very overvalued at the present. NKE is about $83 currently but the price should be about $50 to not be overvalued.

Nike is very full of itself...insular. They get away with paying less because they are in Oregon...that is except for the people at the top.

They really aren’t a U.S. company - they’re a global company that has it’s headquarters in Oregon. I suppose that’s typical of all the multi-nationals now. Reap the rewards from the U.S. customers while you really don’t give a $hit about the country.

In the corporate world I guess that’s being loyal to your stockholders. I could live with this, sort of, until the Colincancer crap. They didn’t need to do this - they could have chosen way better people. I hope the sales sink and their fat retirements suffer.

If Nike were embracing Trump I assure you the Left wing media would be documenting the third world countries where their shoes are made.

Manufactured somehow. This doesn’t pass the smell test.

Don’t the people who are rushing to buy Nike stock realize that most of the people who think Kapernick is is great tend to not buy Nike shoes, but steal them?
