If a Wall Street Analyst looks at a company and gives it a SELL rating, you CANNOT file a COMPLAINT with the SEC against him. People analyze what they see in the stock world and post a BUY, SELL or HOLD “rating” on different companies every day.
I can tweet today that I think APPLE is a POS company and everyone should sell their stock. Can shareholders of APPLE file a complaint against me?? The answer is no. It’s just one persons “opinion”.
Can I file a complaint if I own IBM and some stock analyst comes out and says negative things against the IBM company, gives it a SELL rating and the stock goes down??? The answer is no. This happens every day.
CUBV stock didn’t go down because of Sharp comments, it went down because the merger never happened, Margaret Willett filed the papers with the court about the $282,000.00 debt and that George Morgan jumped ship and now the whole lithium merger thing is up in the air.
Saying something bad about a company alone is NOT STOCK MANIPULATION. Many other factors have to be looked at…
Just my opinion.
