- gamblor956 9y agoNo, context doesn't matter. The CEO of a publicly traded company is treated by law as knowing that putatively material statements they make about their company in a public forum will be taken at face value. If they want to make a joke, they can make it in private, or they can make it about something non-material, or they can make it in a large press release which also includes a disclaimer that the whole thing is a joke.
- mkempe 9y agoOk. Maybe then we should abolish such asinine laws. If there is one thing the Romans got right it was caveat emptor.
