Google stock is up 20% today.
GE was down 13% last Friday.

Investor relations professionals take note – is your company a winner or loser in this market? If it is a winner, are you getting the word out, do investors truly appreciate your winning ways, and do they understand why you are winning? If it is a loser, how do you mitigate future risk and help stop the bleeding from a communications standpoint?
If you don’t have an IR strategy in this turbulent market, create one…..fast.
