Explanation

Note that a negative response is requested. In today's volatile stock market, the share price could drop 10% or more if the quarterly sales or profit forecast were missed. Dependent upon how badly the numbers were missed, employees and suppliers could be affected as well. Society (particularly local society) could also be impacted but certainly to a lesser extent.
