Selective disclosure also allows analysts to defend a stock. Suuuuuuuuuure it does, they find out bad information first and then buy the sht out of it to protect you. Right. :)))) Otherwise, we will hear too much from company execs leading to more distraction for them than necessary... You got a point there, if you are getting too much information, hey just ignore it. :))) And I don't think you can call honoring the fiduciary duty of an executive to the shareholders, a "distraction". :)))

Selective disclosure also allows analysts to defend a stock. I'll weigh in here, as not being in favor of selective disclosure. Investors-traders, need a less dependent environment from analysts. Otherwise, we will hear too much from company execs leading to more distraction for them than necessary... Good point. In fact, it's not so much of whether or not I am informed at the 'same' time or not, as much as I'm more concerned specifically to that information being traded on before it reaches the small fish. On balance overall, I think it's better without SD, in the long run. Thunder PS Eleven more days, I can hardly wait.
