GOOG,FB: Was a company you own at Davos? Then sell.

Was a company you own at Davos? Then sell. • 7:27 AM

• What was the CEO of a company your an owner of up to this week? An index of companies whose execs regularly attend Davos has vastly underperformed the market since 2009.
• Attendance at the gathering tends to be dominated by the financials, with GS, C, HSBC, JPM, LAZ, MS, SCBFF, BAC, ITUB, and UBS leading the way to prove their bona fides as thought leaders. Also spotted were the heads of DOW, and PEP.
• Notably absent: Buffett (BRK.A, BRK.B) , Tim Cook (AAPL) (Jobs never attended either), Jeff Immelt (GE), and Virginia Rometty (IBM). Google's (GOOG) founders and Mark Zuckerberg (FB) stopped going a couple of years ago.
