Just curious, does this post fall afoul of SEC guidelines re: microcap stocks, or is it OK because all of the information is technically public? Not trying to be critical here (though based on the form of my question, I suppose I am), just curious.
- goodcanadian 12y agoI am not an expert, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I think this falls into a bit of a gray area. One comment on a technical forum in response to an article where Axion Power was explicitly mentioned is probably OK. If the GP had a pattern of posting comments like this in many places, particularly investment forums, and under different usernames, it would be illegal market manipulation. Moreso, if that person was found to have bought, posted the comments, and then sold shortly after the market had gone up.
