OT: beigledog, I can't speak to any current specific event. I am no longer involved directly with Wall Street. My experience dates back to the 1980's. I seriously doubt anything has changed. Company X needs market sponsorship and brokerage Y provides that help. Company X provides brokerage Y with access to things that Beigledog Z does not know about until it is common knowledge. When Company X has a material event to release to the public, do you think they just send out a PR without hashing it out with brokerage Y and law firm Q. It is orchestrated and timed to provide maximum thrust to the market price of the stock and the pockets of X,Y,Q and rarely Z.
Happened all the time. How do you think everyone on Wall Street makes the big $$$$$. You think it is because of research?
Signatures are so yesterday!
