I don't know if they want to hype it that much. They are a publicly traded and looking unnecessarily weak could cause a huge unwarranted dip in their market cap (which they have a fiduciary responsibility to prevent).
- jonknee 17y agoMaybe they have already shorted their own shares.
- eru 17y agoThat would be the same as putting more of their shares on the market. (Assuming they can always plug the short with newly created shares.)
- quizbiz 17y agoI have always wondered if brokers are allowed to trade stocks of their own firm.
- dandelany 17y agoYes, as long as they do so based solely on material, public information and report all transactions to the SEC. Obviously, this is nearly impossible to police.
