I think it is good that information is going to be shared equally between the large and small investor. My concern its that corporate America will hesitate to provide any meaningful information as a result of this ruling. This is not good. It might be a case where we are all running with our blinders on.

Bob.

Duke, I agree with bob here. It is best if the public is allowed to know slowly but continuously and that too through analysts, imho. Otherwise, it produces wild gyrations due to inability of the analysts to anticipate the results to the penny. Selective disclosure also allows analysts to defend a stock. Otherwise, we will hear too much from company execs leading to more distraction for them than necessary...

With new FD rules, if MSFT wanted to make another upward revision to EPS to say 1.94 or so, what do they have to do? Issue a press release first?

How does it affect companies giving presentations at Goldman Sachs, B of A, Robbie Stevens? There all companies use to talk about their current financial picture and future outlook.
