Is Tony a poster or does he work for a government agency. To answer your question, the energy stock were private industries not governmental and the company was a very sophisticated company that got down to the mid pennies..only for a few days, it's called Dynergy.
It was their IR department who told me the rules.
I don't have any idea if the government agencies are allowed to give information;
but Baltia, our international sub penny stock, knows it can't give information to a person without informing the entire market about the information with a SEC filing and PR.
You do know that all PR's have a simultaneous SEC filing that you can click on and read the same PR with that venue.
