Blogger Davis Freeberg writes entry an edgy blog on all the companies that make money from Valentine's Day and the search for love. 

I own Yahoo (YHOO ) and IAC Interactive (IACI )  both of whom own dating websites.  To his list I have to add Anglo American (AAUK )- 45% owner of Debeers .  Forget Hallmark and Coca Cola (KO ), Debeers pulled off the greatest commercialization of a human event of all time.  Debeers marketers invented the diamond engagement ring early in the 20th century.  

Disclosures and Confessions:  I own Yahoo (YHOO) and have recently added to my position.  I also own IAC Interactive (IACI) and have recently been selling my position.  I own Anglo American Adrs (AAUK) and have not traded the position in the last year months.  I did buy some AAUK for the account of a family member in the past year. I own Coca Cola Co (KO)
