CYOFISH: Haven't you been a busy little beaver tonight. Though my credentials are none of your business, I will tell you that I am currently in my third year at law school with an emphasis in securities and real estate law. I have been trading for the last 10 years. My opinions are based on fact not "how I feel things should be." I know defamation law. You can Google it if you would like, or you could buy an undergraduate business law book at your local bookstore.
Concerning your Wikipedia interpretation of the Securities Act Rule 10b-5, it is important to note that you left some important things out. It's initial implementation was actually to mandate insider trading. It should also be noted that your "cut and paste" from Wikipedia hardly makes you an expert on the topic.
If a lawsuit was brought against JD citing the Securities Act Rule 10b-5, it would immediately be ruled summary judgment. You have to prove that the statements made in the PR's were intentionally designed to deceive investors. Good luck with that one. Maybe you have some secret tape recordings or documents from GFCI proving otherwise? If so please produce these documents for the group. IMO JD has a set of ethics that would not allow this, but then again this is just my opinion. Second, safe harbor statements are sufficient to release the defendant from any prosecution under the Securities Act Rule 10b-5. There is also other language, that I have seen in previous PR's by GFCI, that can be used to absolve a defendant from responsibility. This was put in place to release companies from frivolous lawsuits due to unforeseen circumstances. But in all honesty, I really don't want to get into a first year law school debate with you which I know I will win.
