Why it should be a rule, my thoughts I think we should be allowed to talk about employees, independent contractors, CEO's of public companies even if they are SI members. I could see a lot of these people becoming SI members just so we can't talk about them. Maybe even some people will just say they are the ceo so no one can talk about the ceo. I could see stock promoters doing that. The "ceo" could make one post, "I am the ceo" then we could never talk about them again. CEO's of public companies are public figures and can legally be discussed just like celebrities and politicians. Heck, the US public discussed that Clinton had peyronie's disease as per Paula Jones, an extra marital affair, had fun with cigars and Monica, had fun with Monica's dress. If we can say that about the president, we should be able to state that a certain stock promoter lives in the caymans and therefore does not have to abide by US sec laws and can lie and post anything he wants without fear of any repercussions or legal/financial liability. These things affect our investments and investment decisions.
