A published opinion from a respected analyst is a material event which inevitably affects the price of the stock. Giving a favored few a heads up on an opinion which is about to be published before the opinion is actually disseminated to the public is akin to letting preferred investors read the galleys of the W.S journal or Business Week before the public is allowed to see them. Information should be either be public or private. When it is private one day and made public the next, it guarantees a windfall profit for either the tipped off private investor(i.e. that a report is coming) or the analyst or both.
