Shia LaBeouf Has Stock Tips For You

While filming the "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," Shia LaBeouf spent a lot of time studying the Financial District scene, and came out of it with some stock knowledge. He says in his GQ interview that stock trading is his newest hobby, and his Schwab Active Trading account is close to $450,000. And according to the Post, he texted GQ's Adam Sachs with the tip, "IOC's momentum is major, and it will surprise to the upside." IOC is InterOil Corporation, who's stock is currently at $71.28 and has been rising all day, obviously because of the famous "LaBeouf Bump."

In French, Shia LeBeouf means "shat the beef." Just thought you might want to know that.

His stock tips are just as valuable as Tom Cruise's tips on racing stock cars, Tommy Lee Jones's tips on tracking fugitives and Tom Hanks's tips on amphibious assault of a heavily defended French beach.

As much as I hate Shia and think he stinks up every movie he is in, I read the article last night and thought about sinking some dough into IOC just to see if the stock would rise after the marketing machine got ahold of the tip. Now I am sorry I didnt.

Oh well, there is always Ford!

There is no movie Shia can't ruin. I don't understand why he has been anointed by hollywood. The only thing worse than Shia in a movie is Shia's insipid PR.
