HI JPS:

Most of these cases of class action shareholder litigation involve a pattern of fairly serious misrepresentations. The cases are so uniquely fact dependant that it is hard to make general statements about them. There is a fairly liberal standard for information that is actually released by a company. Basically, if there is a grain of truth to it, and it is not grossly misleading, it is OK. Releasing 100% false information amounts to fraud and of course is actionable by those shareholders who were damaged by it.

I think where most of these companies get into trouble is where they withhold information that would have honestly impacted a shareholdes decisions regarding whether they should continue to hold the stock or not. Even fairly well run companies run into this pitfall from time to time.
