Picking up the phone could certainly help. I know that doesn't always happen with so-called pros these days, and mistakes certainly happen in filtered and edited publications, but when the end result is a stock price plunge in what was already a bad week on Wall St, you can begin to see how the role and the responsibility suddenly become inextricably intertwined."
