Steve Phillips is the new director of equity research for a brokerage company. He receives a call from a reporter at the Financial News, a weekly publication that comes out on Mondays. The reporter explains the relationship she had with his predecessor. They would share information that they both learned on stocks—the former director would benefit the company's clients by news he obtained from the reporter in exchange for information he gave to her. The former director could ask her not to publish any information he gave her until after a certain date, ensuring that the brokerage clients would be informed before the publication date. After the conversation, Phillips called the former director, who confirmed that the reporter was trustworthy with respect to honoring the agreement for delaying publication until clients have been informed. Philips should: A. not disclose any research even after it has been disseminated to clients regardless of the value of the information that the reporter may have. B. only disclose research that has already been disseminated to clients, as long as the reporter is providing valuable information of her own. C. disclose research not yet disclosed to clients, as long as the reporter promises not to publish the information until after all clients have received the research, and the reporter provides valuable information of her own. |
