AAPL is up today. Can we sue the New York City Employees Retirement System because their suit was holding the stock price down?

Oh, why not. Litigation is the new, popular U.S. reality game show.

Hey, I like that idea, N4hhe! How can someone sue for damaging stock value when it was clearly not hurt except by the suit itself. If they feel damaging stock prices is something warranting a suit, then a suit against their part in the temporarily "depressed" prices experienced by some for the few hours after news of the suit became known should also be a sueable offense.
...or not.

it seems we sue for the sake of suing! Imagine what could be done with the money wasted. We are a sue happy society and we will never change, we are just greedy.
