The most likely explanation to me is that the authors are connected to people shorting AMD, and they wished to get the maximum impact out of their release. It didn’t seem to hurt the stock any though.
- DiabloD3 9y agoYeah, ironically, the price went up significantly.
- thisisit 9y agoCTS' site apparently says as much. > There’s a notification on CTS-Labs site that it may have a financial interest in the companies it investigates (shorting AMD stock is practically a pastime in financial circles).
- bhouston 9y agoIt could also have been used to motivate people to buy shorts by leaking it to friends before its official public release. Is there any way to profit from getting people to buy shorts that won't make money in the end of AMD's stock didn't move? I guess you could try to ruin some people by leaking fake inside information like this and getting them to load up on AMD puts. If that was possible, I can see this move being profitable, but if it was to move the actual AMD price it was a failure.
