Your correct about "Held in Confidence", its happened.
Not necessarily here but it's happened.
As shareholders we/scratch that...some of us investigate heavily into the company we support and expect a return from. Once in awhile that DD may go so far as to actually finding information that the company itself has yet to disclose to the shareholders or may never want that information made public. So, due to proprietary rights which are protected by law that shareholder will not be able to share that information with the public and may be warned by said company not to do so.
EXAMPLE: These proprietary rights include the right to control how the information, concept, or equipment is used by a contractor. When a contractor is hired to complete some aspect of a project, the people with proprietary rights can spell out the terms of the contract to ensure that their rights are not violated. For example, a contractor might be hired to repair machinery with the understanding that the contractor will not photograph, sketch, or otherwise document the machinery, as this could violate the rights of its owners.
I hope this helps Jenna have a better understanding of the situation.........but I highly doubt it.
C-MON' Milling Time!
