OT-interesting is your reply as well.
I thought out a long and laborious reply, but decided to pose just the following:
What if Dew was not a personal professional investor, but really a hedge fund manager with billions at his disposal. Do you think that his posts carry weight in the fluctuations of stock prices for some of the co.'s he comments on?
And this thought. The govt. is not in the business of policing information posted in public, just as it's not in charged of looking for every crime ever committed. They do, however, choose to use the information about law breaking provided to them to prosecute those who have come to their attention. The sad thing is that they don't bother with much of the minor infractions even when they are informed. Just as the police ignore my partner's pleas to go down to Target and review the video of the person who stole his wallet and used his credit card one hour later, they refuse to answer complaints made by retail investors that insiders pass inside information on to others before publicly announced news, benefitting the insiders. When this happens on the buy side, the govt really could care less.
