[sharechat] Shares are new way of expressing love

Considering it's Valentine's Day today, here's an amusing article from the
Economist...

First paragraph:

"HERE it comes again: the day for exchanging chocolates, roses, champagne
and promises, all wrapped up in pink hearts and ersatz affection. Monday
February 14th, St Valentine's day, already a great day for gift-card shops,
jewellers and department stores, might this year be a great day for the
stockmarket too. Shares are the popular new way of expressing love,
according to a survey of 900 Internet users, one-third of them women.
Carried out by Money Talks, an online investment magazine, the survey claims
that 47% of women and 38% of men are intending to buy shares as a gift this
year. "
