No, we are only prohibited from drinking the brew made from the stock
certificates (stock stock?).

Noj.

I doubt very much that Joseph Smith mentioned Coca-caina (cola) in his
writings. Besides, he was probably too busy sipping coffee with Brigham
Young.

Ha ha ha ha haa!

Well, Paul, I prefer Mountain Dew.  It isn't Coke, so I can still claim 
to be holier-than-thou!  ;-)

At least those of us who are painfully honest about our bad habits can 
admit that we only like these drinks because of the things in them that 
are bad for us -- empty calories, pure sugar, caffiene.  

I'm pretty sure you can't inherit the highest degree of glory if you 
drink Coke.  Isn't that written in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith 
somewhere?

I like Coca-Cola and will continue to drink it up at will. I don't care
what the personal preferences of the General Authorities are when it
comes to choosing beverages. 

Hey, I'm me. I do what I want to do.

Are we prohibited from owning stock in Coca Cola?

The Mormons don't.  They don't own Pepsi either.  These are so-called

here is an interesting, short article.
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/mormon.asp

It turns out that there may be individual Mormons who own Coca-Cola stock, 
but that is as close to the truth as these legends come.  I found the 
following paragraph from the article particularly interesting as it 
corroborates something that I have long said:

"Though we hate to ruin a good bit of lore with the facts, the truth is 
that although Mormons have been advised by church leaders to avoid 
caffeinated beverages, this suggestion has not been passed down as 
official church doctrine to 
which all members in good standing must adhere (unlike, say, the 
admonitions against coffee, tea, tobacco and alcohol, which are church 
doctrine). Mormons can swill Coca-Cola, eschew it and all other 
caffeinated beverages, or indulge in the occasional Coke and still be 
considered churchgoers in good standing."
