Might be bad as in the skull&crossbones IMO. All shtick and humor aside I think that info being given to you and no one else is a big no no. Its called "tipping" as he is an insider and informed you of nonpublic info that potentially affects the price and "pumps" investment based on info that can't be found anywhere public. Vague statements such as "there will be updates soon" are OK but when attached to a timeframe like "within 3 days" or "multiple updates in the next 2-3 weeks and they will be good" become a huge issue. This info is confidential to directors and employees like Ken and definitely is material as it influences the pps and trading and especially because now it's on a stock trading forum. Making it known to only certain shareholders and not the public is exactly what "tipping" is. And you thought he was bad at his job before. If you think it's not material because it isn't specific to what the updates are that's not true material is anything that potentially influences investments that's trading 101 from what I remember in the classes I took.
