Is this wrongful English usage or am I just needlessly picky?

Yes, quite so, and such is common enough that I no longer grit my teeth at it, but merely bear it and pass it by in favor of another article. Stocks is also a surname of sorts so, rather than wonder who, scratch my head, or get a headache, it is much easier to ignore it, and hope that it goes away.
